ESD Control Programs

An ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Control Program is a set of procedures and precautions designed to prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive electronic components. Static buildup can occur when insulating materials and human contact generate static charges, which may discharge into delicate parts, causing malfunctions or permanent damage. The program includes using grounded wrist straps, anti-static mats, proper clothing, and controlled environments to safely manage static. Implementing an ESD Control Program ensures the safety and reliability of electronic devices by minimizing static-related risks during manufacturing, handling, and assembly processes.
