Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a static shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
• Material type. (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.) • The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices. • While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
