Grounding the Work Area To prevent static damage at the work area, use the following 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 Styrofoam. ● Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive. Recommended Materials and Equipment Materials and equipment that are recommended for use in preventing static electricity include: ● 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 one-megohm +/- 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 one-megohm +/- 10% resistance ● Material handling packages ● Conductive plastic bags ● Conductive plastic tubes ● Conductive tote boxes ● Opaque shielding bags ● Transparent metallized shielding bags ● Transparent shielding tubes Electrostatic Discharge Information 43
