To prevent electrostatic damage, do the following:
•
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in
static-safe containers.
•
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they
arrive at a static-free workstation.
•
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
•
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
Grounding methods to prevent electrostatic discharge
Use one or more of the following methods when you handle or install
electrostatic-sensitive parts:
•
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded
workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps
with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground
cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the strap snug against the
skin.
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations.
Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or
dissipating floor mats.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
•
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating
work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper
grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.
