Preventing Electrostatic Discharge—Precautions
ESD can damage electrostatic-sensitive devices and microcircuitry. Proper packaging and
grounding techniques are important precautions to prevent damage.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
•
Transport products in electrostatic-safe containers, such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
•
Keep static-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
•
Cover workstations with approved static-dissipating material. Use a wrist strap connected
to the work surface, and properly grounded (earthed) tools and equipment.
•
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids
and foam packing.
•
Ensure that you are always properly grounded (earthed) when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
•
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry.
•
Always place drives with the printed circuit board assembly-side down.
•
Use conductive field service tools.
