The ESDS (Electro Static Discharge Sensitive) electronic devices can be partially or
permanently damaged by the static electricity that is commonly present in the operating
environment.
The main ESDS devices are:
– CMOS components
– Large Scale Integration components in MOS technology
– SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) components
– Operational amplifiers with MOS/FET inputs
– MOS/FET components and arrays
– Microwave semiconductors and microcircuits at frequencies > 1 GHz
Modules containing ESDS devices are identified by following adhesive labels:
In order avoid any damage while handling the modules, the user should wear an
antistatic elastic bracelet, grounded by means a spiral cord.
Those modules that are mounted on the equipment (faulty or spare parts) shall be stores
in their original antistatic package marked by the labels above shown.
