ESD
Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) are electronic components and other parts that are prone to damage from stray electric charge.
Extensive (and permanent) damage to static sensitive devices can result from mishandling and inappropriate methods of storage and transportation.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
When two dissimilar, initially uncharged nonconducting materials are rubbed together, the friction is responsible in transferring charge from one material to.
The process of electron transfer known as 'triboelectric charging'.
The amount of charge depends on factors like the rate of separation, humidity etc.
POSITIVE TRIBOELECTRIC
The following materials give up electrons and become positive when charged when rubbed against other materials: Air (most positive) Dry human skin Leather Rabbit fur Glass Human hair Nylon Wool Lead Cat fur Silk Aluminium Paper (least positive).
NEGATIVE TRIBOELECTRIC
The following materials tend to attract electrons when rubbed against other materials and become negative when charged: Wood (least negative) Amber Hard rubber Nickel, copper, brass & silver Gold and platinum Polyester Polystyrene Saran Polyurethane Polyethylene Polypropylene Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Silicon Teflon (most negative)
