Preventing static discharge damage
Modules and semiconductor devices in general can be easily and permanently
damaged due to electrostatic discharge during installation or removal. A person
walking across a floor can generate electrostatic voltages in excess of 5000V.
Although you might not notice a discharge of less than 3500V, discharges below 100V
can damage semiconductor components.
You can destroy a component without noticing any electrostatic discharge. Because
these discharges have very little current, they are harmless to people.
To prevent damage to components from electrostatic discharge, always follow the
proper guidelines for equipment handling and storage.
Use a wrist strap
To reduce the static potential on your body by proper grounding, wear an approved
antistatic wrist strap (Figure 1-1) when installing, removing, or handling modules, or
while handling any Lucent device containing semiconductor components.
!
Caution
Correct use of an approved antistatic wrist strap is the only reliable way to
prevent damage to components by electrostatic discharge from your body
