ESD safe sensors

Electrostatic discharge, defined as the “fast passage of charge between bodies with different electrostatic potentials” (DINEN 61340-5-1:2017-07), can lead to damage to electronic components, fire and explosions. SICK sensors are systematically tested to prevent damage to electrostatic discharge sensitive devices (ESDS, DIN EN 61340-5-1:2017-07).
