Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and static electricity can cause numerous problems for organizations across several industries, particularly the electronics industry. Product quality and reliability, manufacturing costs and production can all be affected by ESD. In ordinary circumstances, static electricity and ESD are little more than annoyances, however, at times these shocks can be as powerful as 1000V or more. Unprotected electronic components as simple as diodes to complex hybrids can very easily be damaged and become defective by such electrostatic charges. Therefore company need a system to have proper control, ANSI/ESD S20.20 Standard is the solution. It is the multi-industry standard for the development of ESD control programs that protect today’s increasingly sensitive electronic components. Assemblies and equipments from costly ESD damage and reduce down –time. Using this Standard’s control method, an organization can develop an ESD control program that protects devices down to 100V (class 1a) or less.
