ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection refers to methods and materials used to prevent damage from sudden electric sparks that can occur when static electricity builds up. This buildup can happen when people walk across carpets or when objects rub together. ESD can harm sensitive electronic devices, causing malfunctions or failure. Protection measures include grounding, using anti-static mats, and wearing special wrist straps. These precautions ensure that any static electricity is safely discharged before it reaches sensitive components, safeguarding electronics and enhancing their reliability.
