ESD Protective Material Material with one or more of the following properties: limits the generation of electrostatic charge; dissipates electrostatic charge; or provides shielding from electric fields. For the purpose of this handbook, ESD protective materials are classified as conductive or dissipative.
ESD Protective Area. EPA.
ESD Protective Packaging. Packaging with ESD protective materials to prevent ESD damage to ESDS items.
ESDS. Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive. ESD Sensitive. The relative tendency of a device’s performance to be affected or damaged by an ESD event.
ESD STRAP. A device to ground and discharge static electricity from a person. Also called a Ground Strap.
Wrist Strap
ESD Work Station. A work bench that conforms to ESD protection requirements. The bench is grounded, contains an ESD protected table top and is equipped with an ESD wrist strap.
ESD Protected Workstation
| Foam, ESD. Conductive Polyurethane Foam hold and ship ESD sensitive components. The high density form provides a holder for ICs as the leads stay in the foam once forced. Black foam is conductive, Pink foam is antistatic. |  ESD Conductive Foam |
