Electrostatic discharges occur when two objects carrying different electrostatic charges come into contact, or are close enough together to allow charge transfer. These discharges, which are usually invisible, can cause significant damage to electronic equipment, even at very low levels.
For example, a voltage of 100 volts is already sufficient to erase information on a magnetic data medium, but simply working on a workbench can generate a charge of up to 6000 volts.
Visit ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) areas, or «Electrostatic Discharge Spaces». crucial environments in many industrial sectors, from electronics manufacturing to aerospace. These spaces are specially designed to ensure that electronic equipment operates reliably in environments prone to electrostatic discharge.
Companies that handle sensitive electronic components must comply with the following standards strict ESD protection standards, including NF EN 61340-5-1, which establishes procedures and requirements for minimize the risk of damage caused by electrostatic discharge when handling, storing and using sensitive electronic devices.
At Mesurex, We take the quality and safety of the components and products we supply very seriously, particularly in the field of aeronautics (civil and military). To prevent such risky and potentially costly damage, our electronic sensors are manufactured in a high-grade rigorously controlled ESD area These include conductive floor coverings, antistatic mats on workbenches and shelves, grounding devices to dissipate electrostatic charges safely, specific ESD accessories (ionizing blowers, storage bins, filing cabinets, pockets, etc.) and regular internal audits. employees operating in ESD zones are trained and bound by a strict protocol ESD protection: ESD gown and shoes, antistatic wristband, individual test before entering the zone.
The importance of ESD spaces cannot be underestimated in a world where electronic technology plays an increasingly vital role. Protect sensitive electronic components from manufacture to end use ensures the reliability and durability of electronic products, while reducing the costs associated with repairs and replacements. Investing in ESD protection is a necessity for any company wishing to maintain high standards of quality and reliability in its products.
