Electrostatic Discharge Information
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Therefore, all
work performed on assemblies consisting of electronic components should be done at a
static-safe workstation.
Figure 2-2 shows an example of a static-safe workstation. Two types of ESD protection are
shown: (a) conductive table mat and wrist strap combination, and (b) conductive floor mat
and heel strap combination. The two types must be used together to ensure adequate ESD
protection. Refer to
Table 2-4 on page 41 for a list of static-safe accessories and their part
numbers.
