Electrostatic discharge (ESD) remains one of the most costly and preventable threats in electronics manufacturing. Even a tiny, invisible discharge can damage sensitive components, compromise reliability, and trigger expensive failures downstream. That’s why setting up an ESD workstation isn’t just about compliance, but protecting product yields, safeguarding profitability, and maintaining customer trust.
In this article, we outline the steps to set up a basic ESD workstation and highlight the essential products that make up a static-safe environment. Not every application requires the same level of protection, but whether you’re building a small bench setup or a fully integrated electrostatic protected area, the building blocks remain the same.
You’ll also find a free ESD Workstation Setup Checklist to download, plus many additional ESD products to enhance the sophistication, safety, and profitability of your program. Let’s get started.
