About Us       Providing Information for the Protection of Sensitive Electronics The Silicon Valley EOS/ESD Society is dedicated to understanding and improving ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) knowledge and education. Founded in 1989, the Silicon Valley EOS/ESD Society is a nonprofit, unincorporated organization. The society strives for the advancement and understanding of the theory and practice of electrical overstress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) in the principle fields of electronics, magnetic recording devices and semiconductor devices.  Member Benefits Include Educational 1 day tutorials, both local and internationally Informative Monthly Tutorial Meetings Extensive Networking Opportunities Speaking Opportunities             Sponsors       Western Digital Advanced Microdevices Wenvy Technologies Barth Electronics Leo G Henry Consulting Dangelmayer Associates, L.L.C.
