Electrostatic Discharge
In many of the LRUs of modern aircraft, fault diagnosis
will involve changing printed circuit boards.
These boards will contain many components which are
extremely vulnerable to static discharge.
Static electricity (an electrical charge at rest) is stored on
non-conductive materials, where an electrical discharge
could take place.
The static charge is generated whenever any two
materials are rubbed together or pulled apart.

The most common conception of static electricity and its

accompanying discharge, is the miniature lightning shock
we receive when we walk across a nylon carpet and touch
a door handle or light switch.
We find from experience that if we first touch the metal
fittings with a key, the discharge can be seen but not felt.
This phenomenon is especially acute in modern office
blocks and hotels that are air conditioned.

• Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) are electronic

components and other parts that are prone to damage
from static electric charge.
• Extensive (and permanent) damage to static sensitive

devices can result from mishandling and inappropriate
methods of storage and transportation.

• When two dissimilar, initially uncharged non-conducting
materials are rubbed together, the friction is responsible
in transferring charge from one material to.
• The process of electron transfer known as 'triboelectric

charging'.
• The amount of charge depends on factors like the rate

of separation, humidity etc.

The following materials give up electrons and become POSITIVE (+) charged
when rubbed against other materials:
• Air (most positive)

• Dry human skin
• Leather
• Rabbit fur
• Glass
•Human hair
• Nylon
• Wool
• Lead
• Cat fur
• Silk
• Aluminium
• Paper (least positive)

The following materials tend to attract electrons when rubbed against
other materials and become NEGATIVE (-) when charged:
• Wood (least negative)
• Amber
• Hard rubber
• Nickel, copper, brass & silver
• Gold and platinum
• Polyester
• Polystyrene
• Saran
• Polyurethane
• Polyethylene
• Polypropylene
• Polyvinylchloride (PVC)
• Silicon
• Teflon (most negative)

The table below gives some idea of the extent to which static
charges can be generated by the human body.
The values are based on data obtained under some typical
industrial conditions.

Precautions and Warning Symbols
Identification of ESDs
An obviously important requirement is the identification of the
packaging containing ESDs and of any assembly, be it a card module
or complete electronic box, which may utilize ESDs in the circuitry.
For this purpose, therefore, special decals are affixed to packaging
and assemblies; some examples of decals currently in use are shown
in below.
In cases where the connector pins of an electronic box may be
susceptible to a discharge, an additional decal is affixed near the
connector as a warning to personnel not to touch the connector
pins.

• Placards installed on the ESD LRU

• The ESD printed circuit boards are identified with a static
sensitive placard.
• Contaminated or unwanted material should be kept clear of the
sensitive devices.
• Connect the wrist strap into the Electrostatic Ground Jack of the
card file or recognised aircraft ESD ground point.
• LRU or circuit boards are to be placed in the correct conductive
bag or container which must display an ESD label.

1. Use wrist straps which must be worn when handling ESD
2. Use a heel strap
3. Use static dissipative floor and bench mats.
4. Avoidance of very dry environments
5. Availability of ground jacks
6. Use grounded test equipment
7. Use low-voltage soldering equipment and anti-static soldering
stations
8. Use anti-static insert/extract tools for integrated circuits.
9. Avoidance of nearby high-voltage sources
10.Use anti-static packaging

It is of little use to provide static-free packing if the
protected contents are not removed in a static-free
environment; thus, purpose-designed work stations
within special handling areas must always be used as
instructed by the identification decals.
Typically, a station consists of a conducting work surface
connected to either a conducting mat or floor surface
which, in turn, is connected to ground.
The operatives chair or stool is also provided with a
conductive seat cover and grounded.

Rev.: 00
A grounded strap which an operative must place around

his or her bare wrist is also provided and has to be worn
when handling devices and assemblies.
In order to neutralize any random charges on devices or
assemblies during those periods when other protection is
removed, the work station is also equipped with an
ionizer which generates positive and negative ions and
blows air so-charged across the work area and operatives
hands.
