Abstract

An electrostatic discharge protection apparatus for a circuit board is described. The electrostatic discharge protection apparatus has a nonconductive layer and a conductive layer. The conductive layer is used to dissipate electric charges accumulated on the pointed ends of the circuit board, and thus improves the electrostatic discharge protection ability of the circuit board.
