Electrostatic Discharge Information

A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices. Proper packaging and
grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic
damage, observe the following precautions.
• Transport products in static-safe containers such as conductive tubes, bags, or boxes.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
stations.
• Cover the library with approved static-dissipating material.
• Use a wrist strap connected to the work surface and properly-grounded tools and
equipment.
• Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as foam packing materials.
• Make sure you are always properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
