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