Wrist straps are used to bring the operator to ground potential which is the same potential as the dissipative worksurface and the electronic device which is on the bench. Everything must be at the same elctrical potential. Wireless straps will not d

Folk's, I'm looking for information on moisture sensitive devices for our trainer's to use when explaining the concept to new recruit's. There seem's to be load's and load's of info available to ESD but very little for MSD, so I thought I'd ask the

1) why is No-clean (NC) the preferred process, for BGA mounting by SMT? Probably the same reason NC is the preferred process for mounting non-area array SMT components. 2) why is water-soluble (WS) not a hot choice? There�s not reason not to use

Ted Dangelmayer's book [ESD Program Management: A Realistic Approach to Continuous Measurable Improvement in Static Control; Dangelmayer, T; Kluwer Academic Pub 1999 e2; 0412136716] is excellent. Often, ESD supplies sales-types use the "Chicken Littl

It is important that the ESDS device, the operator, and the work surface maintain the same elctrical potential. ESD events take place when objects of different electrical potentil come in contact with each other. When these different charges equalize

Hi, 1. The protection is for in use (to prevent ESD damage) 2. It is device that operate on 3v-battery, so its not connecting to earth. My question what is the prefer PCB layout of maximum ESD protection. Best regards, Erez

Pete: That ACL Staticide� is used on the bulb of the Arach Technology & Application Corp Vacuum Pen� to attain ESD proprties, make us uneasy. "Staticide" is a topical anti-static solution. It's a soap that absorbs moisture from the air to improve

| ok, ok, so I'm not an engineer. I'm a salesguy ( and that's nothing to be ashamed of...) Here's my dilemma. I represent a contract manufacturer who is in the early stages of quoting on "turnkey" assembling of a circuit board for a manufacturer

What are you cutting at incoming? Meat? It doesn't matter that your troop are using ESD mats and wrist straps. Your proposed cutting board is an insulator. It a BIG piece of plastic. So, it will retain a charge. So when you move to adopting ANSI
