Electrostatic Discharge

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
printed circuit boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may
reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in
static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from
their container.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
