Electronics Design Practices to Prevent EOS and ESD Damage
What is ESD? Our team has vast experience in developing custom electronics, so we know very well how problematic ESD can be. ESD stands for electrostatic discharge. Many materials can conduct electricity and accumulate an electric charge. It happens due to triboelectric charging (friction between materials) or electrostatic induction. Whenever this happens, an […]
