What Does ESD Stand For?

ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) refers to the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, a short circuit, or dielectric breakdown. This phenomenon can result in damage to electronic devices and components, making ESD control critical in electronics manufacturing and handling. Effective ESD management involves the use of materials and practices designed to minimize the occurrence of static electricity buildup and ensure the safety and reliability of sensitive equipment.
