ESD information
Caution
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) are individual components, integrated circuits, or
boards that may be damaged by either electrostatic fields or electrostatic discharge.
Regulations for handling ESD components:
When handling components, make sure that personnel, workplaces, and packaging are well
earthed.
Personnel may only come into contact with electronic components, if
• They are grounded with an ESD wrist band, or
• They are in ESD areas with conductive flooring, ESD shoes or ESD grounding straps.
Electronic boards should only be touched if absolutely necessary. They must only be
handled on the front panel or, in the case of printed circuit boards, at the edge.
Electronic boards must not come into contact with plastics or items of clothing containing
synthetic fibers.
Boards must only be placed on conductive surfaces (work surfaces with ESD surface,
conductive ESD foam, ESD packing bag, ESD transport container).
Do not place boards near display units, monitors, or television sets (minimum distance from
screen: 10 cm).
Measurements must only be taken on boards when the measuring instrument is grounded
(via protective conductors, for example) or the measuring probe is briefly discharged before
measurements are taken with an isolated measuring device (for example, touching a bare
metal housing).
