ESD and Electrical Overstress Damage in Electronics
Electrostatic discharge and electrical overstress produce both immediate kills and latent damage that surfaces as an apparently random field failure much later. They are overstress events rather than wear-out, which is why handling controls and input protection — not derating — are the countermeasures.
