Benefits of an ESD Workbench
The basic concept behind the design of an ESD workbench is to ensure materials and personnel are at the same electrical potential. Electrostatic discharge (the rapid and sudden transfer of electricity usually in the form of a spark) occurs when two objects at different electrical potentials come in contact or in the proximity of each other. If this is to occur it can be dangerous for personnel and damage parts and materials. The use of an ESD workbench should provide some protection against this, keeping personnel, components and devices safe. The key element to an ESD workbench is the use… Read more
