The underestimated risk in electronics production

In many companies, ESD protection is still seen as a minor matter. Yet it is one of the key factors for quality assurance and product safety. Especially in electronics production. But why is an issue that can cause millions in damage so often overlooked?

ESD damage is invisible

Unlike mechanical defects or obvious processing errors, ESD damage is usually not immediately recognizable.&nbsp

Lack of responsibility in everyday life

In many companies, ESD protection is "done on the side". There is no fixed person responsible, no established processes, no regular monitoring. Without clear responsibility, the topic gets lost between production pressure, audit preparation and day-to-day business.

Too little knowledge of standards and requirements

Standards such as IEC 61340-5-1 are unknown or only superficially known to many employees. There is often a lack of training, refresher courses or practical relevance. However, the requirements are by no means optional; in many industries they are an integral part of customer requirements and supplier audits.

ESD protection starts with awareness and measurement

If you take ESD protection seriously, you need more than just wrist straps and dissipative floors. Regular, traceable monitoring of all protective measures is crucial. With our "SparkTrap - EPA Assessment Tools" series we provide the right measuring and testing devices for precisely this purpose. Developed at KEINATH Electronic, produced in Germany &amp
