Handling Module
WARNING
1-12
Although the risk of damage to an ESS device is reduced considerably
3.5
after it is assembled into a circuit designed to protect sensitive components,
take the following precautions to reduce static charges to harmless levels:
•
Handle all modules as ESS devices unless they are known not to
contain electrostatic-sensitive parts.
Possibility of equipment damage. Heel straps are effective only while
standing on conductive or electrostatic-dissipative surfaces.
•
Wear wrist ground strap (PN 1AD012470001) before and while
touching or handling modules containing ESS devices.
•
Cover surfaces with resistance to ground in excess of 100 megohms,
such as ordinary tile, with properly grounded static dissipative
runners.
•
Store (even temporarily), pack, and ship modules in antistatic bags or
containers.
•
Do not handle printed circuit board or components unnecessarily. Use
plastic handle.
•
Do not use synthetic bristled brushes or acid brushes to clean modules.
•
Handle failed modules with same precautions as good modules.
