interconnecting power circuits of different products cause no electrical hazards
A sufficient dimensioning of the power cable wires must be selected – according to the maximum electrical
specifications on the product label – as stipulated by EN62368-1 or VDE0100 or EN60204 or UL61010-1
regulations.
1.1.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-
circuitry.
Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following
precautions:
1.
Transport boards in ESD-safe containers such as boxes or bags.
2.
Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at the ESD-safe workplace.
3.
Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or assembly.
4.
Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on antistatic mats.

Grounding Methods
By adhering to the guidelines below, electrostatic damage to the
product
can be avoided:
1.
Cover workstations with approved antistatic material. Always wear a wrist strap connected to workplace.
Always use properly grounded tools and equipment.
2.
Use antistatic mats, heel straps, or air ionizers for more protection.
3.
Always handle electrostatically sensitive components by their edge or by their casing.
4.
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
5.
Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or connecting test equipment.
6.
Keep work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam.
7.
Use only field service tools that are conductive, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuum cleaners.
8.
Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.
