Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Board-level cameras are especially sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Make sure to avoid mechanical or
electrical damage of the printed circuit board or its connections. Wear ESD-protective clothing and observe
the rules for handling ESD-sensitive components.
·
Do not touch the printed circuit board while it is powered.
·
Always hold the board by the edges to avoid the risk of electrostatic discharge damage.
·
For optimum ESD behavior, a clearance of 4 mm from non-shielded housings must be maintained all the
way around. For shielded housings, a smaller clearance is possible.
·
Attach the board to a conductive surface using the fixing screws. If this is not possible, ensure an insulating
connection.
·
Use connecting cable with a low-resistance shield on both sides.
