Static Awareness
Semiconductors and integrated circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
during handling. This notice explains how to minimize damage to these components.
1. Understand the problem.
2. Learn the guidelines for proper handling.
3. Use the proper procedures, packaging, and bench techniques.
Follow these practices to minimize damage to static sensitive parts.
To prevent electric shock or personal injury. De-energize the product and all
active circuits before opening a product enclosure, touching or handling any
PCBs or components
•
Minimize handling.
•
Handle static-sensitive
parts by non-conductive
edges.
•
Do not slide static-
sensitive components
over any surface.
•
When removing plug-in
assemblies, handle only
by non-conductive
edges.
•
Never touch open-edge
connectors except at a
static-free work station.

XW Warning
.
•
Keep parts in the original
containers until ready for
use.
•
Use static shielding
containers for handling and
transport.
•
Avoid plastic, vinyl, and
polystyrene foam in the
work area.
•
Handle static-sensitive
parts only at a static-
free work station.
•
Put shorting strips on
the edge of the
connector to help
protect installed static-
sensitive parts.
•
Use anti-static type
solder extraction tools
only.
•
Use grounded-tip
soldering irons only.
