• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the
following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive
parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cable to a grounded workstation
or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 mega-ohm 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper
ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear
the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating
floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
