Finding Free ESD information
By LearnESD.com Team

Static problems are always there to keep the engineers busy. There is no way for the Management to push static controls aside in most of the electronic industries.

Static controls are required starting right from the beginning from where the Semiconductor chips are fabricated in the wafer processing plants to where they are assembled in the Semiconductor assembly plants and used to produce printed circuit board assembly in the Printed Circuit assembly plants and to a point where they are finally used in a complete electronic product like printers, handphones, computers etc.

There is always a need to have some knowledge on static electricity and electrostatic discharge (ESD) when setting up a company static control program.

Any site coordinator or engineer who is assigned to carry out the task of setting up the static control program for his company needs to be trained on ESD.

The question is where to find information on the availability of the required training.

ESD training is commonly available either in a class form organized by an external training resource or through the online e-learning.

A class training allows participants to ask questions, share knowledge and build a network among the participants.

When local class training is not available or cannot be reached due to some reasons, there is always an alternative for the site coordinator to be trained on ESD.

The cheaper ways are going for the online e-learning.
There are various sites that produce free information.

Some of them are:

ESD Association
Electrostatics.net
LearnESD.com

Other alternatives include getting assistance and guidance from your Corporate expert or from other site coordinators if there is any.
