« Back to Glossary Index

The use of low-resistance material to electrically connect a chassis, metal shield cans, cable shielding braid, and other supposedly equipotential points to eliminate undesirable electrical interaction resulting from high-impedance paths between them.

How Do You Compare ANSI/ESD S20.20 and MIL-STD-1686?
Confusion is created when there is more than one standard to define requirements. For ESD control, this has been the case with a military standard (MIL‑STD‑1686) and ANSI/ESD S20.20.
Why Resistance Requirements Differ by Industry and Why Standards Matter
Confusion over ESD flooring resistance terminology and requirements abounds, leaving many in the dark and creating potential risks. This article helps to clarify this complicated issue so that you can work to mitigate the problem.
Banana Skins – August 2020 (#286-290)
The regular “Banana Skins” column was published in the EMC Journal, starting in January 1998.
Newly Released ESD Standards
In the past six months, EOS/ESD Association, Inc. released eight new or revised documents on electrical overstress (EOS), grounding, packaging materials, seating (chairs), footwear, hand tools, gloves, and human metal model.
Even Optical Communication Needs ESD Protection
Optical communication can dramatically increase the bandwidth between servers while reducing complexity, power consumption, and cost.
