Esd - Quectel SC20 Series Hardware Design

7.8. ESD

The module is not protected against electrostatic discharge (ESD) in general. Consequently, it should be
subject to ESD handling precautions that are typically applied to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD
handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation
of any application that incorporates the module.
The following table shows the electrostatic discharge characteristics of the SC20 series.
