Ionization Equipment

Ionization is used to neutralize charges on process necessary insulators and isolated semiconductors. Ionizers are useful in preventing electrostatic charge generation, ElectroStatic Discharge, ElectroStatic Attraction, as well as reducing contamination of airborne particles adhering to parts.

Some examples of process necessary insulators are: the PC board itself, plastic test stands, plastic housing where a PCB may be mounted, as well as computer monitor screens and regular cleaning wipes. Ionizers should be considered as a method for charge neutralization in cases where grounding cannot be achieved.

Note that ionization systems should not be used as a primary means of charge control on conductors or people. Ionizers do not replace or eliminate the need for wrist straps or foot grounders.
