Table 4-2 Static shielding protection levels (continued) Static shielding protection levels Antistatic plastic 1,500 V Carbon-loaded plastic 7,500 V Metallized laminate 15,000 V Grounding the work area To prevent static damage at the work area, use these precautions. ● Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment. ● Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection. ● Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB laminate. Handle them only at static-free work areas. ● Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment. ● Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces. ● Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and polystyrene foam. ● Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive. Recommended materials and equipment HP recommends these materials and equipment to prevent static electricity. ● Antistatic tape ● Antistatic smocks, aprons, or sleeve protectors ● Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids ● Conductive foam ● Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cord of 1 MΩ ±10% resistance ● Static-dissipative table or floor mats with hard tie to ground ● Field service kits ● Static awareness labels ● Wrist straps and footwear straps providing 1 MΩ ±10% resistance ● Material handling packages ● Conductive plastic bags ● Conductive plastic tubes ● Conductive tote boxes Grounding the work area 25
