What is an antistatic drawer used for?
Our ESD cabinets and ESD drawers are manufactured from durable antistatic ESD material (polypropylene) with a surface resistivity below 10^4 - 10^6 Ohm, while the static decay rate is from 5 kV to 50 V in less than 2 seconds. We often hear that electronic equipment should be protected against the harmful effects of electrostatic discharge, but what exactly is it? What are we protecting against? Simply put, ESD (electrostatic discharge) is a natural physical phenomenon defined as the transfer of charges between objects with different electrical potentials. It is most commonly observed when two materials rub against each other. Many people have probably noticed it even in everyday household situations, for example when:
- two synthetic materials are rubbed against each other,
- plastic containers are moved,
- synthetic garments come into contact with each other.
The examples listed above are among the most noticeable and easy to observe with the naked eye, and we can often even feel them ourselves. Unfortunately, they represent only a small portion of electrostatic discharge events. The far less obvious ones are imperceptible to humans, yet often destructive to electronic components. That is why proper storage of all types of components in specially protected containers is so important.
