ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING

Low air humidity will increase the number of ESD (electro statics discharge) events and by keeping the correct humidity range, it will limit or eliminate ESD. However, there are many other factors that come into play when choosing the ‘right’ humidity for a manufacturing environment. The recommended humidity range is usually determined by the specifications of the devices and components being assembled. Increasing the humidity in an electronics manufacturing facility drastically helps reduce ESD.

Companies which manufacture or assemble components which are highly sensitive to ESD will typically require a minimum of 30 to 40% RH, regardless of ESD protection. A normal range for humidity in electronics manufacturing is between 30% RH and 70% RH. Some facilities maintain a constant moderate relative humidity (~50%) and maintain and improve the product quality and decrease waste from damaged components.

It is also important to maintain a record in order to control the environment within the manufacturing facility. Records offer the only evidence that the systems are in place and operating correctly. Our system will constantly measure the temperature and RH in your facility at various locations and record the information which will provide a more automated, error-free approach.
