I have some boards which are charged with electrostatic and which are not connected to any voltage source. I am removing all the electrostatic charge by grounding them using a very similar technology to that of ESD mats. Is there any standard which

Yes I can use my field meter. But is there a standard which specifies the minimum electrostatic discharge time for the PCBs or for the components?

I have not tested whether there is electrostatic discharge on the PCB or not because the electrostatic meter is still on its way. But the IPC-A-610 section 3.1.2 specifies that yes even compressed air nozzles that move air over insulating surfaces g

What about grounding the board while you are cleaning it to immediately disspate the static?

I was thinking placing it on an esd mat during cleaning.

I am using compressed air to dry my PCBs and to remove dust from my PCBs. This is causing electrostatic build up on the PCBs. What do you suggest rather than an Ionized Air Gun?

I had read something a long time ago about the effects of the Santa Anna winds on electro-static discharge. Does anyone know where I might be able to find information on this? Thanks, Nikki

Dear Tom, Thanks a lot for your reply. That is exactly what I had in mind and I think that it is the best solution. Another solution is to increase the humidity in the area where the compressed air is being applied. But do you think there are othe

Piezoelectric type (office/industrial) In this method, a piezoelectric (piezo) element, whose volume is deformed when voltage is applied, is used to discharge ink particles. This element is attached to the component that is filled with ink. Then, th
