Abstract
An attribute of insulators is that they do not allow redistribution of electrical charge across their entire surface, so they can permit local electrical charge to build up. This is static electricity and leads to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to electronic devices. The effects of ESD damage can be devastating to electronic equipment. Electronic components can be classified according to electrostatic discharge capability. Class-1 is the most sensitive, class-2 is less sensitive, and class-3 is the least sensitive. The key to a good program for controlling ESD is found in creating an environment that is protected against generating static electricity. Floors are very important in protecting against ESD damage. One should only use conductive, static dissipative floors, antistatic carpeting, conductive vinyl, or terrazzo floor tiles. Protective materials should be used to protect electronic products containing ESD-sensitive components.
