Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive devices
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive devices are identified by the following
sticker:
Figure 1: ESD label
When handling modules with ESDs, it is essential that you observe the following
guidelines:
You must always discharge static build-up, e.g. by touching a grounded
object, before working with such components.
Any devices or tools that are used must be free of electrostatic charge.
Always hold components with ESDs at the edges.
Do not touch any connectors or conduction paths on an ESD.
Wear a suitable grounding cable that connects you to the external chassis of
the basic unit.
Place all the components on a pad which is free of electrostatic charge.

relevant European and international standards (EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).
