What is Electro Static Discharge?

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) describes the transfer of electrical charge between two objects.

As a result of the increasing use of plastics and/or plastic-coated materials, problems arise through the loading and unloading of these insulating materials.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) may occur between the charged surfaces and the grounded objects in the immediate vicinity. This can lead to undesired interference or damage of sensitive electronics in devices and sensors. The energy of a static discharge in a semiconductor behaves in its relationship to the earth, like the energy of a lightning bolt to a tree.

When someone or something discharges a static charge to an electronic component, at the microscopic level of modern circuitry the damage can be catastrophic and potentially fatal as well. ESD trays are used to control static and protect sensitive electronics in manufacturing, transportation, and storage.
