Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION
Static sensitive!
A discharge of static electricity can damage static-
sensitive devices or micro circuitry. Proper packaging
and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to
prevent damage.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
Cover the loader with approved static-dissipating material. Provide a wrist strap connected to
the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
Keep the work area free of no conducting materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and
foam packing.
Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Use conductive field service tools
