Electrostatic Discharge

Be aware of the precautions needed when handling parts. A discharge of static
electricity might damage static-sensitive devices which may reduce the life expectancy
of the product.
Electrostatic Discharge Prevention
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free
work areas.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from the container.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Use proper grounding practices when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.
Grounding Methods to Prevent Electrostatic Discharge
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded chassis.
Use conductive field service tools.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
