Static Control and Relative Humidity Revisited
As we have noted before, humidity is not an effective way to control ESD in an electronics production environment. While the ability to generate static electricity increases when the air gets dryer (the % RH decreases), increased humidity does not eliminate the ESD event entirely or provide protection to ESD susceptible devices . As an…
