Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components
(the possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever
components are transported, stored, or used).
Test equipment and ESD
— Before connecting any coaxial cable to a test set connector for the first time
each day, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the cable
together.
— Personnel should be grounded with a 1
M
Ω
resistor-isolated wrist-strap
before touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any
assembly from the test set.
— Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent
build-up of static charge.
Additional information about ESD
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD damage, contact the
Electrostatic Discharge Association:
The ESD standards developed by this agency are sanctioned by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
