Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document serves as a comprehensive guide on Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and its impact in the workplace. It covers ESD workstations, hand tools, and auxiliary equipment, stressing the importance of maintaining an ESD-safe environment to protect sensitive electronic components.
Understanding ESD
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) occurs when there is a sudden equalization of charge between objects with different charge potentials, potentially damaging electronic components. The document explains the generation of electrostatic charges and the risks associated with ESD, particularly as electronic components become more miniaturized and sensitive.
Component Sensitivity and Fault Detection
Electronic components are increasingly sensitive to ESD, with some being damaged by discharges as low as 50 volts. Detecting ESD damage is challenging, often leading to latent failures that are costly to rectify.
Protection Measures
To protect ESD-sensitive components, it is crucial to store, handle, and pack them in ESD-protected environments. The document outlines standards (DIN - EN 61340 series) that provide guidelines for protecting electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena.
Setting Up an ESD-Safe Workplace
An ESD-safe workplace involves using ESD-compliant tools, clothing, and equipment. The document details the importance of grounding personnel and equipment and provides guidelines for setting up both stationary and mobile ESD-safe workstations.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular inspection and maintenance of ESD protection measures are essential. Grounding connections, mats, and earthing plugs should be inspected weekly, while wrist bands should be checked daily. Special cleaning agents are recommended to avoid leaving insulating residues.
Product Offerings
The document lists various ESD products offered by Bernstein, including grounding mats, workplace pads, and tool loops, all designed to maintain an ESD-safe environment. Detailed specifications for these products are provided, emphasizing their suitability for use in ESD-protected areas.
Conclusion
Maintaining an ESD-safe environment is critical for the protection of sensitive electronic components. By following the guidelines and using the appropriate tools and equipment, the risk of ESD damage can be significantly reduced.

WHAT DOES ESD MEAN? ESD stands for electrostatic discharge. It is caused by the sudden equalisation of charge between objects with a different charge potential. This discharge can generate a large amount of electrical current. HOW IS ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE GENERATED? Every object has positive and negative elementary particles. Positive and negative charges normally neutralise each other. Objects are electrically neutral. However, if an object loses electrons, an imbalance arises. This imbalance is called the charge potential. Charged objects have a tendency to equalise by discharging. In the event...

ESD – HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR COMPONENTS HOW CAN YOU PROTECT COMPONENTS? You can protect ESD-sensitive components by storing, handling and packing them in a completely ESD protected environment. Precautionary measures are taken in these areas to eliminate electrostatic build-up. The difference in potential is neutralised by slowly dissipating the charge, thereby preventing a sudden discharge. This abrupt release constitutes the real danger. A very short and rapid discharge generates a very high discharge current. It is important to identify ESD-sensitive components, ESD-safe working...

optimum resistance range charge discharge possible limited charge discharge possible hazard risk Hard discharge area SURFACE RESISTANCES The effectiveness of materials is classified according to their resistance properties. Here, surface resistance plays a particularly important role: it is the electrical resistance of a conductive layer on the surface. Depending on the resistance properties, a distinction is made between shielding materials, electrically conductive materials, electrically dissipative materials and insulating materials. ESD-compliant tools are also just as important. In the Bernstein...
