Why ESD Gloves Matter in PCB Manufacturing

How the Right Hand Protection Supports Static Control, Product Cleanliness and Reliable Electronics Assembly Printed circuit boards are handled many times before becoming the final product assembly. Operators connect components during different processes such as kitting, manual insertion, inspection, rework, testing, cleaning, and packaging. At each phase, the hands are a source of electrostatic charge,…

How XIXI Electronics Factory Reduced Recorded ESD-Related Defects by 82%

A Practical Case Study in Workstation Grounding, Personnel Control, Surface Verification, and Process Discipline Electrostatic discharge is not common on the electronics production floor. The component may be damaged without sound or immediate indication. Uncontrolled discharge reduces electrostatic-discharge-sensitive devices long before the finished product reaches a customer. This case study shows how an electronics manufacturer…
