How to Choose an ESD Protection Capacitor
ESD (Electrostatic Disharge) is the rapid transfer of electrostatic charge. When one object is positive and another negative and they come into contact, they are going to want to balance their electrons. The rush of electrons from one object to the other is ESD. ESD can be considered an enemy to electronic circuits and their components. The …
