● Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry. ● Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam. Personal grounding methods and equipment Use the following items to help prevent ESD damage: ● Wrist straps - These are flexible straps with a maximum of one megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide a proper ground, wear the strap against bare skin. The ground cord must be connected and fit snugly into the banana plug connector on the grounding mat or computer. ● Heel straps, toe straps, and boot straps - These can be used at standing computers and 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 one megohm ± 10% resistance between the operator and ground. Static shielding materials Static shielding materials provide the following levels of protection. Method Antistatic plastic Carbon-loaded plastic Metalized laminate Voltage 1,500V 7,500V 15,000V Grounding the work ● area to prevent static damage ● ● Cover the work surface with approved ● static-dissipative material. Use 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 in static-free work areas. ● Disconnect 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 plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam. Use field service tools (such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums) that are conductive.
