Section I. General Information
1. Preventing Circuit Board Damage From Electrostatic Discharge
Electronic printed circuit board assemblies are susceptible to physical damage, for example, bro-
ken components due to rough handling. In addition, printed circuit board assemblies (and their
components, such as EPROMs) are subject to damage by various types of static electricity. Dam-
age of this type is called ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). ESD can cause immediate
damage to components on a circuit board assembly, or it can weaken them to the point where the
damage will show up days, weeks, or months later.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN HANDLING PCB ASSEMBLIES
1. The PCB assembly is usually shipped in a cardboard shipping carton to prevent physical
damage. Inside the carton, the PCB was placed in 1 of 3 types of closed protective bags:
black translucent, smoked gray transparent, or pink transparent.
2. For storage, the best protection for the assembly is to leave it in its shipping carton. If it is
removed from the carton, leave the assembly in its CLOSED storage bag while transport-
ing, or until it is ready to be installed in a machine.
3. Before handling the PCB assembly, be sure you are wearing a conductive wrist strap
or other suitable ESD protective device. The conductive wrist strap should be con-
nected to ground in the machine. This can be any exposed metal part.
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR WRIST STRAP TO A PAINTED PART.
4. Remove the new PCB assembly from its bag. Set the PCB assembly on top of the bag on
a flat surface while you remove the old PCB assembly from the machine.
5. Static can migrate on outside of bag, so it is recommended that when you pick up the new
PCB assembly, to set the old one down on the protective bag. Install the new PCB assem-
bly in the machine.
6. Insert the old PCB assembly into the protective bag. Seal the bag.
7. If the old PCB assembly is to be shipped, it is best to ship it in the same shipping carton
you received with the new PCB assembly.
