Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). A static charge is an unbalanced electrical charge at rest. An electrostatic discharge is created when insulator surfaces rub ...

TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, Pa. - Protecting state-of-the-art electronics equipment from the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge is a top priority here. Military members count on Tobyhanna employees ...

Many people don’t realize that creating a safe electrostatic discharge workstation can enhance a worker’s productivity and reduce costs associated with damaged equipment. This guide covers all the ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical at advanced nodes to safeguard designs against effects intensified by shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer thicknesses. On the other ...

As in the title, this happened the other day when I touched my computer's side panel (Antec P183 case). Reading about this phenomena on the net has been almost comical, with individuals who claim to ...

But to get the most out of the adhesive, engineers usually call for a rough surface, giving the adhesive plenty of sites to form mechanical bonds. Unfortunately, these rough surfaces create networks ...

As natural phenomena go, static electricity seems less cataclysmic than an earthquake or a tornado. An annoyance, maybe -- socks clinging together, flyaway hair, or the zap felt after shuffling across ...

Have you ever experienced that little electric "zap" when shaking hands or touching a metal surface? This phenomenon, known as static discharge, has a scientific explanation related to the ...
