Electronic components or assemblies at risk from electrostatic discharges (ESD) are sensitive elements that can be destroyed or damaged if permitted levels of current or impact energy are exceeded. These typically include semi-conducting components and thick- and thin-film construction elements, which are most often damaged through human mishandling.

A human being can charge several thousand volts just by walking. Discharges become noticeable at approximately 2000-3000V - already well above the tolerance level of many ESD components.

Before implementing ESD-safe products, we recommend establishing an ESD-safe procedure according to ESD standards IEC 61340 or ANSI S2020. These standards form the foundation of ESD preventive protective work and provide greater quality assurance.

HerzESD is committed to providing accurate information and clear explanations to our customers. We pride ourselves on offering correct ESD solutions, even when it means challenging established but sometimes flawed market opinions. Through partnerships with reliable manufacturers, we maintain vigilance in developing new solutions for static electricity control.
