What is ESD?
Electrostatic sensitive devices
What problems were caused by ESD?
New generation had unserviceability rate 3 to 4 times higher under the same handling conditions as the older generation.
What happens to ESD’s in circuit boards?
May be damaged by transient electrical static charges.
What percentage of ESD’s do not cause total failure?
80-90%
Why is ESD a problem?
The faulty inter grated circuit is hard to inspect and automatic test equipment isn’t able to discover the problem
What are the factors that contribute to static electricity.
If a shock causes pain how many volts will it be
5,000 V
What voltage can cause damage to modern ESDs
Low as 100 V
