A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge
Note
332
Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin.
1. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate:
•
If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap
is connected to a ground point.
•
If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down on the conductive
work surface.
•
In either case wait several seconds.
2. Place the item in the container.
3. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD
tape.
•
Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of
static fields.
•
Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed
prevents the bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the
device.
If you do not already have an adequate supply of anti-ESD bags or
containers available, Teledyne API's Customer Service department will
supply them (see Section 11.8 for contact information).
Follow the instructions listed above for working at the instrument rack
and workstation.
