Electronic components or assemblies at risk from electrostatic discharges (ESD) are sensitive elements which 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.

Human handling is a primary cause of damage, as a person can charge several thousand volts just by walking. A discharge becomes noticeable at 2000-3000V, which already exceeds the tolerance level of many ESD components.

Before implementing ESD safe products, establish an ESD safe procedure according to ESD standards IEC 61340 or ANSI S2020 as the foundation of ESD preventive protective work and quality assurance.

HerzESD is committed to providing accurate information and solutions, even when it means correcting established but flawed market opinions. We pride ourselves on delivering only correct ESD solutions through reliable manufacturing partnerships.

As a solid partner in ESD control, HerzESD works with international collaborators to continuously improve solutions for static electricity management in industrial environments.
