Use the Desco Survey template to evaluate your ESD Control Plan. If you do not have equipment to make the necessary measurements, contact us for options. Email a copy of your notes and measurements and an iNarte ESD certified technician will evaluate your program to the ESDA’s ANSI/ESD S20.20
From all of us here at Desco, we would like to wish you a safe and Happy Holiday season! All operations will be closed on Friday, December 25, 2020 and Friday, January 1, 2021.
This video covers the fundamental principles for protecting ESD sensitive components in a electronics production environment. The presentation includes an explanation and demonstrations of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), the different models for ESD events, and material types used in an ESD Protected Area (EPA). To learn how to build an effective ESD control program that is…

Desco made our first crude version of a wrist strap for an aerospace customer in Southern California. The wrist strap was basically a metal watchband connected to a wire with a ring terminal on it. There were no industry accepted standards, qualification procedures, or certification processes at that time. ESD susceptible components used in electronics…
SMTA is offering a webinar on the elementary principles of ESD Control. The webinar will be November 26 @ 2:30pm – 4:00pm GMT (9:30am – 11:00am US Eastern Time). Click HERE for registration and more information.
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…

Think Of Static Electricity as Germs and Contamination! Daily life has other examples of hidden enemies where careful procedures must be followed to regularly obtain positive results. One example is sterilization, which combats germs and contamination in hospitals. Damage caused by invisible and undetectable events can be understood by comparing ESD damage to medical contamination of the human…
