Thansk, its just a nomal office carpet, so i doubt its got ESD protection features.you don't
know, for example, that the carpet isn't a sort that can
suppress ESD
Most components and integrated circuits are relatively immune to static electricity even though they are supposed to be static sensitive, however there are exceptions that are very static sensitive and require every static precaution, even if fitted in circuit. These include CMOS monostables, gas sensors and FET,s If your boards include any of these devices then full precautions should be taken.
And if it still works, I guess you'll think everything is fine and dandy with the carpet. "Parts don't fail after the carpet test, so we must be ESD certified!" Yeah right, remind me, where do you work, I want to make sure we never buy anything from your company.treez said:Thansk, its just a nomal office carpet, so i doubt its got ESD protection features.
I suppose that i literally have to go swiping my feet on the carpet then touching microcontrollers that work and see if they dont after swiping feet.
Thanks, seriously, is there stuff we can spray on the carpet to reduce static build up?If your worried about the carpet, spray it with salt water. That should drop the static
