Guidelines for Handling Electrostatically-Sensitive Devices (ESD)
A.3
General Protective Measures Against Electrostatic Discharge
Damage
Ensure Sufficient
Make sure that the personnel, working surfaces, and packaging are
Grounding
sufficiently grounded when handling electrostatically-sensitive devices.
You thus avoid electrostatic charging.
Avoid Direct
You should touch electrostatically-sensitive devices only if it is
Contact
unavoidable (for example, during maintenance work). Hold modules
without touching the pins of components or printed conductors. In this
way, the discharged energy cannot affect the sensitive devices.
If you have to carry out measurements on a module, you must
discharge your body before you start the measurement by touching
grounded metallic parts. Use grounded measuring devices only.
