Special Handling Of Static Sensitive Devices - Omega Engineering 873C Operator's Manual

SPECIAL H A N D L I N G OF STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
CMOS devices are designed to function at high impedance levels.
Normal static charge can destroy these devices. Table 4 lists all the
static sensitive devices for the Models 873C and 873F. Steps 1
through 7 provide instructions on how to avoid damaging these
devices.

1. Devices should be handled and transported in protective con-
tainers, antistatic tubes or conductive foam.
2. Use a properiy grounded work bench and a grounding wriststrap.
3. Handle devices by the body only.
4. Printed circuit boards must be grounded to bench while inserting
devices.
5. Use antistatic solder removers.
6. Use grounded tip soldering irons.
7. After devices are soldered or inserted into sockets they are pro-
tected and normal handling can resume.
