How PCB Assembly Lines Prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage

What You Need to Know PCB assembly lines are highly vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD) because continuous material handling, automated conveyor movement, operator interaction, and component placement processes generate static charge throughout the manufacturing environment. Even low-voltage ESD events can damage modern semiconductors, integrated circuits, and PCB assemblies, particularly in high-speed SMT production lines handling […]
