How to Properly Store ESD-Sensitive Components
May 13, 2026
Proper storage of ESD-sensitive components is critical to prevent latent damage. Follow these best practices:
Use ESD-Safe Containers
Always store components in conductive or static-dissipative containers. AcePlas offers a full range of ESD tote boxes, component trays, and PCB racks.
Control Humidity
Maintain relative humidity between 30-70% in storage areas. Low humidity increases static buildup risk.
Ground All Surfaces
Shelving and work surfaces must be properly grounded with a resistance to ground of less than 1 x 10^9 Ω.
