Figure 1. A room-type ionizer provides electronics and emitters in an assembly that mounts on a room’s ceiling. Rooms may require several ionizers to provide adequate ESD protection, depending on ...
Ionization probably is the most misunderstood ESD-control technique used by the electronics industry today. We can relate to dissipative worksurfaces, wrist straps, and chairs with grounding chains.
Air ionization is the most effective method of eliminating static charges on nonconductive materials and isolated conductors. Air ionizers generate large quantities of positive and negative ions in ...
