Voltage discharges caused by friction can damage sensitive components.
- Example: Charging/friction during transport, discharge during installation.
- Solution: ESD protective elements. Use within an Electrical Protection Area (EPA) with a grounded counterpart.
Your advantages:
- Temporary and permanent protection options.
- Customisation of colour and conductivity as required.
- Integration into existing ESD protection zones.
We provide the highest technical cleanliness for your products.
Manufacturing of sensitive, safety‑critical and function‑decisive components is possible in a dedicated production area.
We take responsibility and make sustainable protective elements made from 100% post-consumer recycled material (PCR) the new standard.
We have gradually converted our standard range. The elements are fully recyclable.
