Creating an ESD Workstation
Today’s post will provide a step-by-step guide covering: how to create an EPA at your workstation; what ESD control products are required; and, how to correctly set them up.

How to measure the effectiveness of your ESD Control Programme
While good circuit layout and on-board protection may reduce the risk of damage by ESD events, the only safe action at present is to ensure that devices are not exposed to levels of static electricity above the critical threshold.

5 (additional) common mistakes in ESD Control & how to avoid them
A little while ago we published a post listing some of the most common issues we see & how to fix them. We had a lot of positive feedback from this post so thought we’d create a follow-up post with another 5 mistakes that are creeping regularly.

How do Foot Grounders work?
A question we repeatedly get from customers is in regards to foot grounders. Wrist straps are generally straightforward and people understand what they do and how they work. But when it comes to foot grounders, there is still a lot of confusion.

How to neutralise a charge on an object that cannot be grounded
In an EPA all surfaces, objects, people & ESDs are kept at the same electrical potential. We achieve this by using only ‘groundable’ materials. But what do you do if you absolutely need an item in your EPA and it cannot be grounded?

Why Wave Distortion Technology is superior
We talked in the past about the benefits of continuous monitors and also introduced the different types to you. The focus of today’s post is the technology behind continuous monitors – how they work and how they compare to each other.

Single-Wire vs. Dual-Wire Monitors
Continuous monitors eliminate the possibility of a component being exposed to ESD during the period that the wrist strap was not working properly.

Best Storage Conditions for PCBs
Most people are aware of the dangers ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) can pose on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). However, there is another risk factor many operators forget: moisture.

Resistivity and Resistance in ESD Control
There is a lot of confusion out there as to what the difference is between resistivity and resistance. We get asked questions on a regular basis so hopefully this post will put an end to any misunderstanding.

The Difference between EOS and ESD
Electrical Overstress, or EOS, has become a widely-used term over the past few years. However, a lot of people are still unsure as to what exactly it is and how it differs from ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD).
