Another name for the type of static electricity that can damage electronic components such as chips and destroy motherboards is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). ESD is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. It can occur without the human sensory perception of the discharge and is a notable cause of product damage and equipment failure in the electronics industry.
