Why we shouldn’t use a conductive workbench to guide the static electricity to earth?

Conductive surface is originally used as an ESD work surface like stainless steel. This is not a right concept. These are far from ideal because of the following viewpoints.

• The conductive surface will short out any connections making operation and testing of the circuit impracticable.
• The conductive surface will provide a low impedance discharge path that will give a very rapid discharge, resulting in high currents flowing and possible damage to the circuitry.
• A further reason for having a high resistance dissipative surface rather than a fully conductive surface is that of safety. If high voltage is present in a system, then accidentally touching a conductive work surface and a high voltage source can be dangerous. Accordingly, safety precautions necessitate that a high resistance dissipative surface is used.

In order to provide the correct environment for an ESD workstation, an ESD workbench should have a static dissipative surface.

Static dissipative surface

Typically, an ESD protective work surface should have a resistance value between the 1.0 x 109 and 1.0 x 106 ohms. This is for two reasons, firstly for preventing a rapid discharge of any static that may cause damage, and secondly for safety reasons as mentioned above.

The key to an operation of the ESD work bench is the surface of the bench.

What is the work surface of Detall ESD workbench?

As static can build up anywhere on a work bench, it is essential that all working surface of the bench must be static dissipative. Either electronics assemblies, or tools may be placed here the shelves need to be part of the ESD protected area. Also, if tools are placed on a non-ESD dissipative surface, attract static, and used to work on an electronics assembly, then the chances of damage will rise.
