COMMON SENSE
It stands for electrostatic detonation ANSWER: Eelectrostatic static discharge. What it is? It is a potential of energy ready to be discharged if it find a path. Otherwise it sits there until it does. The source can easily be found on cellophane if ripped suddenly or walking on a dry carpet or sliding on your car seat
electrostatic sensitive device
If you do not take ESD precautions when working on a circuit board, or when working with electronic components or assemblies, there is a chance that static charge on your hands or on other places could discharge through one of the components and damage it. Damaging a component means the circuit or assembly or component no longer works correctly, or even worse, will operate normally but will experience a reduced lifetime, ie, fail in the near future.
If you failed you ESD then the reasons could be:Your teacher did not teach you properlyYou did not work hard enough to passYou a simply not clever enough to passPoor exam thechnique - you did not answer the questions the ESD actuall asked.
ANSI/ESD S20.20 covers the requirements of an ESD control program. The fundamental ESD control principles are: - Ground all conductors, including personnel - Insulators are high charging and cannot be grounded. Remove all non-essential insulators. Keep all process essential insulators at least 12" from ESDS or neutralize charges with ionizers - Outside an EPA, ESDS are to be packaged in closed ESD shielding bags or covered containers having shielding properties Grounding works great removing electrostatic charges. If opening a computer and handling circuit boards or electronics, the person should be grounded using a wrist strap connected to the ground of an AC electrical outlet or equipment ground. The ESD sensitive items should be placed on a grounded mat. A good tool to have is a Field Service Kit which includes a mat, a cord to ground the mat, and a wrist strap to ground the person. If attachment to the ground of an AC electrical outlet is not possible, one can use equipotential bonding. "When neither AC equipment [Equipment Grounding Conductor] or auxiliary grounds are available, an equipotential bonding system may need to be used. In this situation, all of the items in the system are bonded together so that the charge that resides on the elements will be shared equally and therefore there will be no potential difference between the items. Once this step has been completed it is safe to handle ESD sensitive parts without inducing damage. A real life example of this is often observed in office equipment field service operations. For safety reasons the service technician will often disconnect the AC power cord which detaches the equipment from ground. In order to safely install ESD sensitive products into the equipment, it is necessary to electrically connect or bond together the service technician, the equipment frame and the ESD sensitive product. Once bonded together an ESD event will NOT occur when the technician handles the product or installs it in the office equipment."

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is used to prevent damage to electronic components or devices. ESD can occur when static electricity builds up and discharges through an object, potentially causing harm if not properly managed. By grounding components or using ESD-safe materials, the risk of damage due to ESD can be minimized.
ESD paper is a type of paper that is specially coated to prevent the buildup of static electricity. It is commonly used in electronics manufacturing and packaging to protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge. ESD paper helps to prevent damage to electronic devices during handling and transportation.
ESD tools are used to prevent damage to electronic components from electrostatic discharge. Proper use includes wearing an ESD wrist strap or heel strap to ground yourself, working on an ESD-safe work surface, and using ESD-safe tools and equipment to handle sensitive electronic components. It is important to follow ESD precautions to avoid damaging electronic devices.
The maximum electrostatic discharge voltage can vary depending on factors such as the environment and the materials involved. However, common industry standards specify a maximum ESD voltage of around 2,000 to 4,000 volts for safe handling of electronic components. It's important to follow ESD protection guidelines to prevent damage to sensitive electronics.
ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge. It refers to the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. ESD can damage electronic components and devices if not properly handled.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) tools are devices used to prevent damage to electronic components from static electricity. They are grounded tools that help to safely handle sensitive electronic components by dissipating any built-up static charge on the person using them. Examples include ESD-safe mats, wrist straps, and grounded workstations.
1500v From ESD Association ESD Handbook ESD TR20.20 section 5.3.2.1: "When people are charged with static electricity, they can release stored energy to conductive objects such as doorknobs and electronic circuits. This transfer of energy is called an electrostatic discharge. Sometimes the electrostatic discharge causes visible sparks, but more often, it is both unseen and unfelt. Electrostatic discharges can damage ESD sensitive components used in modern electronics. Static electricity is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all climates and at all levels of relative humidity year round. Most people cannot feel an electrostatic discharge unless the static voltage is greater than 2000 volts. However, some electronic circuitry can be damaged by ESD that is less than 2000 volts. The damage can be done without people having any sensation of the ESD event. When a wrist strap is worn properly and connected to ground, the person wearing it will stay near ground potential."

Humidity can affect ESD by neutralizing static charges. Higher humidity levels can help dissipate static charges more effectively, reducing the risk of ESD events. However, extremely high humidity levels can also increase the conductivity of the air, potentially increasing the risk of ESD in some situations.
