AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual Prevention of ESD/EOS Electrostatic discharge ESD is a phenomenon in which electrostatic charge is rapidly transferred between objects with different potentials generated by two electrostatic sources. Electrostatic charges can cause damage to electrostatically sensitive devices when they come into contact with or near them.
AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual materials such as plastic bags or Styrofoam containers can generate severe static electricity and are not suitable for use in operating areas, especially ESD protected area (EPA). The act of peeling tape from a roll of tape can generate 20,000 volts. Even compressed air blowing on insulating surfaces can generate static charges.
AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual Figure 1-1. ESD Sensitive Symbols and ESD Protective Symbols Symbol (1) ESD sensitive symbol. Inside the triangle is a hand drawn with a slash to touch. This symbol is used to indicate that the electronic or electrical device or assembly is susceptible to damage by an ESD event.

AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual absorption material for ESD sensitive devices, generally used as an intermediate layer material for packaging. Antistatic materials do not generate electrical charges when in motion or when rubbed. But if electrostatic discharge occurs, ESD can penetrate the package, causing ESD/EOS for ESD sensitive devices.
AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual ESD Protected Area EPA ESD/EOS safety benches prevent damage to sensitive components from electrostatic discharges and spikes generated during operation. The safety workbench should have the protection function against EOS damage and avoid the spikes pulse generated by test equipment such as maintenance, production, and testing.

AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual Operating Precautions Guidelines 3.1. Avoid contaminating the pad surface before soldering. Anything that comes into contact with these surfaces must be cleaned. Be very careful when removing the PCB from its protective packaging. Only touch the edge of the board away from the edge connector. Gloves that meet EOS/ESD requirements may be required when mechanical assembly requires a firm grip on the board.
AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual or damage to other internal components. Moisture sensitive components (classified in accordance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, ECA/IPC/JEDEC J-STD-075 or their equivalents) shall operate in accordance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 or their equivalents Provisions for documented procedures. IPC-1601 provides guidelines for moisture control, operating, and packaging of PCBs.
AN055 ESD Static Protection Manual After Soldering 3.5. Even after soldering and cleaning operations, handling of electronic components requires great care. Fingerprints are extremely difficult to remove, and the conformal coated boards show fingerprints after humidity or environmental testing. Gloves or other protective equipment can be used to prevent such contamination.
