• Handle all static-sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use anti-static floor pads and workbench pads.
• When handling static-sensitive components, grasp them by the sides, not the top. Avoid touching pins and circuit boards.
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the anti-static packing
material until you are ready to install the component. Before unwrapping the anti-static packaging, be sure to discharge static
electricity from your body.
• Before transporting a static-sensitive component, place it in an anti-static container or packaging.
The ESD Field Service Kit
The unmonitored Field Service kit is the most commonly used. Each Field Service kit includes three main components: anti-static mat,
wrist strap, and bonding wire.
Figure 4. ESD Field Service Kit
The anti-static mat is dissipative and should be used to safely place parts on during service procedures. When using an anti-static mat,
your wrist strap should be snug and the bonding wire should be connected to the mat and to bare-metal on the system being worked on.
Once deployed properly, service parts can be removed from the ESD bag and placed directly on the mat. Remember, the only safe place
for ESD-sensitive items are in your hand, on the ESD mat, in the system, or inside a bag.
Figure 5. Anti-Static Mat
The wrist strap and bonding wire can be either directly connected between your wrist and bare metal on the hardware if the ESD mat is
not required, or connected to the anti-static mat to protect hardware that is temporarily placed on the mat. The physical connection of
the wrist strap and bonding wire between your skin, the ESD mat, and the hardware is known as bonding. Use only Field Service kits with
a wrist strap, mat, and bonding wire. Never use wireless wrist straps.
Always be aware that the internal wires of a wrist strap are prone to damage from normal wear and tear, and must be checked regularly
with a wrist strap tester in order to avoid accidental ESD hardware damage. It is recommended to test the wrist strap and bonding wire a
minimum of once per week.
