WORKING WITH STATIC-SENSITIVE DEVICES

ESD COSTS!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can ignite flammable materials and
damage electronic components. Static electricity can attract
contaminants in clean environments or cause products to stick
together. Other costs of ESD-damaged electronic devices are in their
replacement and production down time. Associated costs of repair
and rework, shipping, labor and overhead can be significant. Reducing
losses to ESD and static electricity is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.

PERSONNEL GROUNDING
Before touching any Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) devices or
circuit boards, put on and wear an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) wrist
strap. Ground this strap through a one megohm (1 MΩ) resistor.
HANDLING OR MOVING ESDS DEVICES
Handle all circuit boards by their edges ONLY. NEVER touch the traces
or edge pad connectors.
WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
If diagnostics are required, move the circuit board to an approved ESD
workstation. A static-safe workstation must include a grounded ESD
mat, wrist strap and cord. The measured static voltage at a workstation
MUST NOT exceed 50 volts.
For detailed information about ESD contact:

HOW TO GET HELP AND SUPPORT
NEVER use the personnel grounding system described below when
working with voltages above 220 VAC.
NOTE:
Use ONLY static-shielding containers for transporting ESDS devices or
circuit boards.
