Stable humidity for safer, static‑free electronic production.
Why humidity important for electronic industry?
Electronic devices, printed circuit boards, and components are highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is the sudden release of static electricity upon contact between objects, like carpet shocks or dryer static, and can cause costly failures in production. Proper humidity levels minimize these risks effectively.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of static electricity when two objects come into contact. Familiar examples of ESD include the shock we receive when we walk across a carpet and touch a metal doorknob and the static electricity we feel after drying clothes in clothes dryer. A more extreme example of ESD is a lightning bolt. While most ESD events are harmless, it can be an expensive problem during any electronic manufacturing process.
Recommended humidity level for your electronic manufacturing plant
- The recommended humidity level for Electronic manufacturing facility is 40 to 50% RH.
How can you bring humidity to your electronic manufacturing plant?
Most of the humidifier technologies can be applied to humidify your electronic manufacturing and assembly plant.
- What is the required maximum humidification capacity (load) required?
- What sources of energy are available on site?
- How is the ventilation system installed and how is the air distributed?
- Which humidification system will require the least amount of energy – calculated for the overall HVAC system?
Selection of the proper humidification solution should be based on the following:
