TEC and Laser Diode Handling Precautions

TEC and Laser Diodes are sensitive to static discharge and guidelines should
be followed at all times when handling laser diodes:
All operators must have a properly grounded wrist strap before handling any
TEC.
All soldering iron tips must be properly grounded.
All related test and assembly equipment must be properly grounded
Always follow the Laser Diode and TEC manufacturers' specifications for maximum
