ESD PUSH BUTTONS ARE A TYPE OF ELECTRICAL SWITCH THAT IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT DAMAGE FROM ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) EVENTS. ESD CAN OCCUR WHEN TWO OBJECTS WITH DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL CHARGES COME INTO CONTACT, CREATING A SPARK OR DISCHARGE OF ELECTRICITY. THIS CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IN INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENTS WHERE SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT IS USED, AS ESD CAN DAMAGE OR DESTROY THESE COMPONENTS.
