InPut Protection. A protective network at the input pins of an item to prevent electrical damage. Two examples of IC Gate protection

Insulative Material. Materials not defined as conductive or dissipative are considered to be insulative.

Protective Handling. The special handling that is given to ESDS items in order to prevent ESD damage.

Protective Packaging. Packaging with ESD protective materials to prevent electrostatic damage to ESDS items.

Protective Storage Storage of ESDS items while enclosed in ESD protective covering or packaging.

Static Shielding Materials. Material that attenuates an ESD.

Triboelectric effect. The generation of electrostatic charge on an object by rubbing or other type of contact.

Wrist Strap Cord. The coiled insulated wire used to attach the wrist strap worn by a person to the work station. The wrist strap side is normally a snap, and the work station side is normally a banana plug and or an alligator-clip.
