Handling
ESD sensitive devices must be handled only in static-protected environment.
According to reference standards above, each ESD protection equipment such as grounding strap, bench matting,
floor matting and ground cord must be tested before handling ESD sensitive devices. In addition, it is strongly
recommended to wear ESD smocks during all service procedures.
Transport and storage
ESD sensitive devices are supplied in ESD protective packaging such as ESD shielding bags.
ESD sensitive devices and ESD protective packaging are identified with specific labels.
ESD sensitives devices must be stored in ESD protective packaging before final assembly.
