Extensive use of highly electro-static discharge (ESD) sensitive components | |
in today's electronic industry necessitate manufacturing & assembly shop | |
floors to be designed and set up with this aspect in mind, and it is necessary | |
that the equipment used there must confirm to this requirement. We have done | |
considerable research in order to provide this solution in regard to Magnifiers. | |
The damage to the sensitive components occurs due to electric discharge | |
between component and some charged object in the vicinity, or a conductor | |
shorted to the ground. The damage can be total or irreversible, and if the | |
component is mounted on a board the entire board can get rejected. Like all | |
other equipments and instruments used in these factories, the Magnifiers too | |
have to be ESD proofed. In our ESD Safe Magnifiers this is ensured in terms of | |
various parameters (quantitative values given below) such as static | |
generation, resistance value from surface to ground, and surface resistivity - | |
which must remain within the Dissipative Range. To attain these parameters | |
we use specially imported dissipative polymers, dissipative paints, dissipative | |
coatings, special electrical layout etc. | |
Electrical Resistance Values of our Magnifiers & their components: | |
Surface Resistivity : 10E6 - 10E11 Ohms/sq | |
Surface to Ground Resistance : 10E5 - 10E9 Ohms | |
Static Generation (by friction with Thermo cool) : NIL | |
The above figures confirm to requirement of EOS/ESD Association Standards | |
20.20 (1999) for Electrostatic Discharge control areas. | |
(NB: It is necessary that all other items in the work area such as packing | |
materials/bags, work bench surfaces, storage racks, grounding cords, chairs, | |
mats, bins, floor surfaces, footwear/gloves/aprons, conveyor belts etc. have | |
resistance properties that remain well within 10E3 to 10E12 Ohms.) | |
