Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent static electricity damage to electronic components: ● To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes. ● Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging. ● Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations. ● Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container. ● Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly. ● Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry. ● Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or conductive foam. Personal grounding methods and equipment Using certain equipment can prevent static electricity damage to electronic components. ● Wrist straps are flexible straps with a maximum of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation. ● You can use heel straps, toe straps, and boot straps at standing workstations. These straps are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on both feet with a maximum of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance between the operator and ground. Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment 27

Preventing electrostatic damage to equipment
Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of
sensitivity.
The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent static electricity damage to
electronic components:
●
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
●
Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.
●
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
●
Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
●
Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly.
●
Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
●
Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or conductive foam.
Personal grounding methods and equipment
Using certain equipment can prevent static electricity damage to electronic components.
●
Wrist straps
are flexible straps with a maximum of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, a strap must be worn snug against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit
snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or workstation.
●
You can use
heel straps, toe straps, and boot straps
at standing workstations. These straps are
compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use them on
both feet with a maximum of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance between the operator and ground.
