ESD Definitions
'A' to 'D', 'El', 'Es', 'H', 'M', 'S'
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE. ESD
Electric Field. The region surrounding an electrically charged object
in which another electrical charge will experience force. Commonly referred
to as an electrostatic field.
Electrostatic Charge. Electrical charge at rest. The negative or
positive charge present on the material or item surface.
Electrostatic Discharge. ESD. A transfer of electrostatic charge
between objects at different potentials caused by direct contact or induced by
an electrostatic field.
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive. ESDS. ESD Sensitive. The relative tendency of a
device’s performance to be affected or damaged by an ESD event.
Electrostatic Field. A voltage gradient between electrostatically
charged surfaces.
Electrostatic Shield. A barrier or enclosure that prevents or
attenuates the penetration of an electric field.
Electrostatic Voltage. Voltage generated by static discharge. Chart of Electrostatic Voltages by means of generation.
Electrostatics That class of phenomena which is recognized by the
presence of electrical charges, either stationary or moving, and the
interactions of these charges, this interaction being solely by reason of the
charges themselves and their position and not by reason of their motion.
