What's New

Prostat Corporation, manufacturer of professional ESD Audit kits and instruments, has introduced the Qube, a new dual socket grounding plug that provides a convenient ESD ground path to a previously tested receptacle.

In Part 2 of this series we indicated that a key element in a successful static control program was the identification of those items (components, assemblies and finished products) that are sensitive to ESD and the level of their sensitivity. Damage to an ESDS device by the ESD event is determined by the device’s ability to dissipate the energy of the discharge or withstand the current levels involved. This is known as device “ESD sensitivity” or “ESD susceptibility.”
