BASIC KNOWLEDGEHow Is Static Electricity Generated?Charge generation will occur when two surfaces in contact are separated, one surface loses electrons and becomes positively charged while the other surface gains the same electrons and becomes negatively charged. Removing the charge on conductive materials can be accomplished by grounding; however, insulators (such as plastic, glass, ceramics, etc.) will need ionized air to remove the charge.Why Is Static A Problem?It is well-documented that damages and yield losses attribute to the effect of static charges. Particle contamination is a major issue as charged materials attract more particles to their surfaces than their non-charged counterparts, i.e., Electrostatic Attraction (ESA). Direct electrical damage caused by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) devices can occur with a variety of ESD failure modes. Also, ESD events produce Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) that can cause equipment malfunctions, lockups and direct damage to the product via radiated and conducted forms.Ultra-Sensitive DevicesUltra ESD sensitive (ESDS) devices (especially those sensitive below 100V) are appearing in the various industries at a rapid pace. In the last few years, many facilities have struggled with ESD damage directly resulting from limitations of those standard ESD controls that have been used so effectively in the past. Ionization and continuous monitoring with the latest technology are crucial in combating the effects of static on these ultra-sensitive devices.Features1 Sales Service +1 (510) 217-0460 or +1 (800) 367-2452 www.simco-ion.com/technology
