ESD Sensitivity Testing

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Sensitivity Testing assesses how easily electronic components can be damaged by static electricity. During testing, controlled static shocks are applied to the device to determine the voltage level it can withstand without harm. This information helps identify the component's susceptibility to static discharge and guides protective measures, such as grounding or antic-static packaging, to prevent damage during manufacturing, handling, or use. Essentially, this testing ensures electronic products are robust against static-related failures, improving reliability and safety in their deployment.
