Electrostatic Discharge Information

Electrostatic Discharge Information

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work
station. The following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station
using two types of ESD protection:

• Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.

• Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination.
