electrical charges sufficient to damage ES devices.
6. Donot remove areplacement ES device from its protective
package until immediatelybefore you are readyto install it. (Most
replacement ES devices are packaged with leads electrically
shorted together byconductive foam, alminum foil or
comparableconductive material).
7. Immediatelybefore removing the protective material from the
leads of areplacement ES device, touch the protective material to
the chassisor circuitassemblyinto which the device will be
installed.
Caution
Besure no power isapplied to the chassisor circuit, and observe
all other safetyprecautions.
8. Minimize bodilymotions when handling unpackaged replacement
ES devices. (Otherwise hamless motion such as the brushing
together of your clothes fabricor the lifting of your foot from a
carpeted floor can generate staticelectricity(ESD)sufficient
todamage an ES device).
3. About lead free solder (PbF)
Note: Leadis listedas (Pb) inthe periodic table of elements.
Inthe information below, Pbwill refertoLeadsolder, and PbF will refertoLeadFree Solder.
The LeadFree Solderusedinourmanufacturing process and discussedbelowis (Sn+Ag+Cu).
That is Tin(Sn), Silver(Ag) and (Cu) although othertypes are available.
This model uses PbFree solderinit’s manufacture due toenvironmental conservation issues.
Forservice and repairwork, we’dsuggest the use of Pbfree solderas well, although Pbsolder
maybe used.
PCBs manufacturedusing leadfree solderwill have the PbF withina leaf Symbol
stampedon the back of PCB.
Caution
-Pb free solder has ahigher melting point than standard solder.
Typicallythe melting point is50 ~ 70 ~F(30~40~C)higher. Please
