ESD Damage—Facts and Figures:It has been estimated that average product losses in the electronic industry due to static electricity can be as high as 33%! Per year, the cost of ESD to the industry can be figured in billions of dollars. As the world of electronics progresses, parts are becoming smaller and smaller. This means that distances between insulators and circuits are decreasing, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the device to ESD.
