What is ESD and How to Prevent it – ATM | DigiKey

Electrostatic discharge can occur between the human body and electronic components at very low voltages and current or at levels up to 3000 volts without knowing the discharge occurred. Static sensitive devices can be rendered useless in an instant causing downtime, rework, and production loss. Static safety safeguards and equipment may be put in place to minimize the risk as this video demonstrates.
