The Basics of Charged Device Model The semiconductor industry has created test models to determine the sensitivity of a packaged device to an electrostatic discharge
Static charge must be controlled in today’s electronics manufacturing environments. Without effective control, static charge will cause electrostatic discharge (ESD) to components as well as
What equipment in your manufacturing environment is maintenance free? The answer is simple: none. As with all other equipment, ionizers used for static charge and
ANSI/ESD S20.20 requires body voltage generation testing for qualified ESD flooring. The walking test requires connecting a test subject to a voltage-measuring device such as a charge plate monitor. The voltage-measuring required connection to a separate data collection device. The equipment determines if a person wearing specific types of static-control footwear will maintain a static charge maximum below 100 volts when walking on a static control floor.
This post covers the different types of static control ionization equipment and technologies. Which is best for your application?
Radioactive Static Eliminators – Alpha Ionizers An alpha ionizer produces alpha particles which eliminate static electricity during sensitive manufacturing or electronics fabrication processes. The radioactive
PAC is an authorized distributor of NRD Static Control and Ionization products. We’ve reposted this information from the NRD knowledge-base to better serve our customers.
What are the different types of wafer storage and desiccator dry cabinets? What are the price differences? Should you choose acrylic, dissipative PVC cabinets, or stainless steel?
What is the advantage of ionizers for static control and particle cling? How do I select the right ionizer? View the selection guide.
In this guide, you’ll learn about various installation methods, find detailed instructions, and also learn where you can buy the materials you’ll need for installation at your facility. The type of installation you choose requires consideration for the environment and subflooring within your facility.
Our friends at Simco-Ion sent us this brilliant guide to ESD cleanrooms design, principles, and other considerations. Download the PDF you’ll find case studies and technical information about how static charges influence particle retention and impact manufacturing outcomes in controlled environments. Below we’ve highlighted important ideas in relation to medical device cleanrooms and provide additional resources.
Over time, an ESD floor will incur wear and eventually require replacement. A contractor will likely recommend that the entire floor is replaced. But is there a better way?
Genuine linoleum is a 100% biodegradable material composed of linseed oil, pine resin, cork, wood, pigment, and limestone. Depending on material construction, it is known to have antistatic properties which mitigate some triboelectric charges that cause zaps and static buildup.
Reposted from Our Vendor SCS-Static-Control Solutions Dual wire ESD monitors and ESD wrist straps are the most common personnel grounding device to ground operators. In today’s
Standard pink anti-static bags fail to protect ESD-sensitive devices from the flow of electrically charged objects. Learn about the requirements for ESD safe packaging, metal faraday bags, and the differences between anti-static, dissipative, and conductive packaging.
Here’s a comparison of a BenchPro™ ESD laminate workstation made in the America’s versus an imported replica.
Definition of Conductive Flooring ANSI/ESD S20.20 flooring specifications, see here. Moving feet and contact with objects generate triboelectric charges. Static sensitive areas require a grounded
An ESD chair is recommended even when an ESD floor or floormat is in use. The user removing their feet from the floor could cause
