Static Controls

Many semiconductor devices used in electronics are particularly sensitive to static discharge. Conductive antistatic bags are commonly used to protect such components. People who work on circuits that contain these devices often ground themselves with a conductive antistatic strap. Simply increasing the humidity of the environment may be sufficient to prevent static build up, although this is not… More

Many semiconductor devices used in electronics are particularly sensitive to static discharge. Conductive antistatic bags are commonly used to protect such components. People who work on circuits that contain these devices often ground themselves with a conductive antistatic strap. Simply increasing the humidity of the environment may be sufficient to prevent static build up, although this is not always practicable in production areas. Other antistatic devices include: garments, mats, agents, etc. Less
