Electrostatic Discharge Protection (ESD Protection) refers to methods and devices designed to prevent damage caused by electrostatic discharge. ESD occurs when static electricity builds up and suddenly discharges, potentially harming sensitive electronic components. Common ESD protection methods include grounding, using ESD-safe materials, and implementing protective devices like varistors and TVS diodes. Effective ESD protection is crucial in various industries, especially in electronics manufacturing and assembly. By minimizing the risk of ESD, companies can ensure the reliability and longevity of their products. Proper training and awareness about ESD can further enhance protection measures in workplaces handling sensitive equipment.
