ESDS
Another cause of ESD damage is through electrostatic induction that is later discharged to an ESD sensitive device, or ESDS. This occurs when an electrically charged object is placed near a conductive object isolated from ground. The presence of the charged object creates an electrostatic field that causes electrical charges on the surface of the other object to redistribute. Even though the net electrostatic charge of the object has not changed, it now has regions of excess positive and negative charges.
