1.3 Handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits,
modules, or devices that may be damaged by either electrostatic fields or electrostatic
discharges.
NOTICE
Damage caused by electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions due to damaged individual
components, integrated circuits, modules, or devices.
• Only pack, store, transport, and deliver electronic components, modules, or devices in
• 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
