Electrostatic discharge

The electrostatic discharge can cause a remarkable voltage that could cause
damages to printed circuit boards or to other equipment components.
Electrostatic discharge damages can accumulate and can initially not be
visible, such as a hardware failure, but can reduce performances. Therefore, it
is recommended to use proper electrostatic discharge handling procedures.
Electrostatic discharge can be due to low humidity or to the use of electrical
equipment on carpets, bedding and clothes.
