Step-by-step guide to choosing the right ESD equipment

ESD clamping voltage

This determines the level of safety that a protection diode can guarantee. Reducing the voltage that an IC will be exposed to in the event of an ESD strike is essential for the protection of more sensitive components within the IC. Devices that have a low clamping voltage therefore tend to be more effective.

Leakage current


The leakage current refers to the amount of current that passes through the ESD suppressor whilst the circuit is operating normally. This consideration is of particular importance to battery-driven applications. Here, suppressors that allow for as little leakage as possible are desirable so that battery drain time is not increased.

System operating voltage

Suppressors have varied system operating voltage specifications according to their construction. These specifications determine the suitability of parts within given circuit parameters and are used to ensure that appropriate parts are used. For example, a 5 VDC-rated part would not be appropriate for use in a 9 VDC bus as excess voltage could cause degradation of the part.

Location of ESD suppressor

The most effective suppressors are those that are located near the ESD source and are as close as possible to the line that they are protecting. The greater the distance between them, the higher the impact of the transient voltage will be on the IC.


ESD protection is of huge importance in high-tech industries to ensure product reliability, to reduce costs where damage would otherwise occur and as a health and safety precaution for users. As technology progresses, the likelihood of an ESD strike increases. This gives rise to a greater need for ESD protection. Integrated circuitry is the &#;brains&#; of all electronic products and so protecting these components is crucial. As technological progress develops rapidly in this area, the need for ESD protection will increase, bringing with it a greater, more advanced offering of ESD protection devices.

The Complete Guide to Anti-Static Packaging


Electronics and technology have an important presence in the world today, especially with the increasing popularity of ecommerce. In this complete guide, we will explore every aspect about Anti-static packaging that is so essential in the electronics industry.

What is Anti-Static packaging?

Anti-static packaging comes in a few different forms that all resist static. These forms can usually be identified by colour with silver being for metallised PET film and other plastics, and pink or black for polyethylene.

Anti-static packaging materials include bags, tubes and stretch film.  They work by preventing static electricity from building up and discharging, which often results in damaged electronics and increased costs. Did you know that sometimes it only takes as little as 30 volts to cause damage to electronics? This is why it is important to use anti-static packaging when shipping electronic devices
