What is ESD protection?

ESD protection involves measures to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge in sensitive environments.

Why is ESD protection important?

ESD protection is crucial to prevent static electricity from damaging electronic components or causing malfunctions.

What types of ESD equipment are available?

Available ESD equipment includes anti-static mats, grounding tools, and devices designed to control static electricity.

How do anti-static mats work?

Anti-static mats work by dissipating static electricity through grounding, preventing the buildup of static charge.

What is an ESD grounding tool?

An ESD grounding tool is used to safely discharge static electricity by connecting to a ground point, protecting sensitive components.

Where can I buy ESD protection devices?

ESD protection devices can be purchased online from specialized equipment suppliers and retailers.

What industries require ESD protection?

Industries such as electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, and computing require ESD protection to ensure safety and reliability.

ESD Measuring

ESD equipment

ESD measuring and test equipment covers the full verification chain required by IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20: surface resistance measurement from 10¹ to 10¹² Ω, electrostatic field detection down to ±1 V/cm, wrist strap verification within the 750 kΩ-35 MΩ acceptance window, and continuous workstation monitoring with alarm thresholds set to <100 V. Instruments in this category also address relative humidity logging (target range 40-60 % RH per IEC 61340-5-1 Annex C) and walking-test body-voltage measurements up to ±20 kV, enabling a full EPA audit with traceable documentation.

As a specialist distributor for ESD protection equipment, esd.equipment supplies 234 test and measurement instruments from leading manufacturers - covering every instrument class needed to qualify, audit, and maintain an electrostatic protected area to current norm requirements. Calibration services and replacement probes ensure long-term traceability in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
