Low Humidity and Electrostatic Discharge: The Engineering Relationship

Low Humidity and Electrostatic Discharge: The Engineering Relationship

Low relative humidity is one of the biggest contributors to electrostatic discharge in electronics manufacturing, allowing static charges to build until they damage sensitive components. This guide explains the science behind the humidity-ESD relationship, the critical RH thresholds for safe operation, how component sensitivity affects risk, and why maintaining stable humidity is essential for both IEC 61340-5-1 compliance and long-term ESD prevention.
