include the relay drivers, relays, and power-up reset circuit. These various elements are
discussed in the following paragraphs.
To prevent damage, assume all parts are static-sensitive.
Such devices should be transported and handled only in containers specially designed to
prevent or dissipate static buildup. Typically, these devices will be received in anti-static
containers made of plastic or foam. Keep these parts in their original containers until
ready for installation or use.
Remove the devices from their protective containers only at a properly grounded
workstation. Also, ground yourself with an appropriate wrist strap while working with
these devices.
Handle the devices only by the body; do not touch the pins or terminals.
Any printed circuit board into which the device is to be inserted must first be grounded
to the bench or table.
Use only anti-static type de-soldering tools and grounded-tip soldering irons.
