Preventing static discharge damage
Semiconductor devices can be easily and permanently damaged due to electrostatic
discharge during installation or removal. A person walking across a floor can generate
electrostatic voltages in excess of 5000V. Although you might not notice a discharge
of less than 3500V, discharges below 100V can damage semiconductor components.
You can destroy a component without noticing any electrostatic discharge. Because
these discharges have very little current, they are harmless to people.
To prevent damage to components from electrostatic discharge, always follow the
proper guidelines for equipment handling and storage.
Use a wrist strap
To reduce the static potential on your body by proper grounding, wear an approved
antistatic wrist strap when installing, removing, or handling any Lucent device
containing semiconductor components.
CAUTION: Correct use of an approved antistatic wrist strap is the
only reliable way to prevent damage to components by
electrostatic discharge from your body.
Wrist grounding strap
To minimize entanglement, right-handed people can wear the strap on the left hand.
Plug the other end of the wrist strap into a grounding jack if available. If a grounding
jack is not available, use an alligator clip to connect the strap to electrical ground.
