ESD Association Standard
ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014
For the Development of an
Electrostatic Discharge Control
Program for –
Protection of Electrical and Electronic
Parts, Assemblies and Equipment
(Excluding Electrically Initiated
Explosive Devices)
Agenda
• 1. Changes 2007 to 2014
• 2. Test Procedures
CHANGES
Transition period
• Companies certified
• 2015 transition period
• Companies previously certified to ESD
S20.20-2007.
• New company certification ESD S20.02-
2014
• All companies certified after 2016
• Using standard as guideline
CDM events
• What is a CDM event?
• Value - 200 Volts Charge Device Model
threshold
• Importance of understanding Device
sensitivity
• Component sensitive to less than 200 V
CDM?
Isolated Conductors
• What is a isolated conductor
• Value – 35 volts
• Importance of measuring isolated
conductors
• Voltage higher then 35 volts
• Solution
− Ground or equipotentally bonded
− Neutralize via ionization
Flooring footwear system
• System defined as footwear, flooring & operator
• Operator voltage measurements for qualification
only, both limits must be meet
Ionization
• Use to be +/-50V
• Lower limit +/- 35V
• Decay time – User defined
• Test method ESD STM3.1
Insulators
• Eliminate nonessential insulators – cups,
personal items etc.
• Purpose – mitigate field-induced Voltage
influencing CDM damage
• Insulators measured at 1 inch away at 2000V –
12 inches
• Insulators measured at 1 inch away at 125V – 1
inch
− Neutralize via ionization
− Neutralize via other charge mitigation techniques
Soldering
Personnel Wrist Strap Jack Ground Connection
• Non-Monitored personnel ground point only
• Including common point ground (ground block)
and Ground conductor to facility ground

An ESD Protective Workstation connects all ESD worksurfaces, fixtures, handling equipment and personnel
grounding devices to a Common Point Ground. The Common Point Ground is connected to the ESD
Grounding/Bonding Reference Point, which in most cases will be the AC equipment ground. If an Auxiliary
ground is used, it should be electrically bonded to the AC equipment ground.
