Electrostatic Discharge
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 cord to a grounded
workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps
with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 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.
■
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating
work mat.
