Electrostatic discharges can irreparably damage sensitive electronic components. Although awareness of ESD protection is increasing, there are still many misunderstandings and errors that can lead to inadequate protection.

If there is no visible spark, there is no ESD risk.
Visible sparks are[...]

Precision knows no compromise!

It is time for companies to take the issue of ESD protection seriously and implement it as an essential part of their quality and production assurance strategy.

This is the only way to ensure that products meet the[...]

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is an invisible threat to modern electronics. A short, invisible spark can be enough to destroy sensitive components or cause long-term damage. Therefore, effective ESD protection measures in electronics production and handling are essential to ensure the[...]
