ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) is the common occurrence of a momentary unplanned electrical shock given off by a person or virtually any 'charged' object.
ESD S20.20 is the multi-industry standard for the development of ESD control programs that protect today’s increasingly sensitive electronic components, assemblies, and equipment from costly ESD damage and reduces down-time. Using the standard’s control methods and guidance, an organization can develop an ESD control program that protects devices from unplanned electrical discharges as low as 100v (class 1a) or less.
The S20.20 standard has quickly become highly regarded in the electronic, telecommunication, aerospace, automotive, and medical device industries.
An ESD control program helps eliminate costly component failures while increasing customer satisfaction.
