ESD Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection involves using materials and design strategies to prevent damage to electronic devices from sudden static electricity shocks. When static builds up—like when you walk on a carpet and then touch a device—the discharge can harm tiny electronic components inside the device. ESD protection methods include special coatings, grounding, and protective circuits that absorb or redirect this static electricity, preventing it from reaching sensitive parts. This ensures the device remains safe, reliable, and functions correctly over time, especially during manufacturing, handling, and operation.
