ESD clipboard is a clipboard that is designed to be electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe. ESD is a sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. ESD can damage electronic components and cause malfunctions, so it is important to use ESD-safe equipment when handling electronic components.

ESD clipboards are commonly used in industries such as electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, aerospace, and medical equipment manufacturing, where the risk of ESD damage is high. They are also used in cleanroom environments where the control of static electricity is critical to maintaining a contamination-free workspace.
