1.2 Handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)

1.2 Handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits, modules
or devices that may be damaged by either electric fields or electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE
Damage through electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged
individual components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
• Only pack, store, transport and send electronic components, modules or devices in their
• Only touch components, modules and devices when you are grounded by one of the
• Only place electronic components, modules or devices on conductive surfaces (table
