ESD guidelines

5.1

What does ESD mean?

Almost all of the SIMADYN D modules are equipped with highly integrated
blocks. These blocks and modules are extremely sensitive to
overvoltages and therefore to electrostatic discharge.
ESD The abbreviations stands for electrostatic discharge
Modules which contain these components are identified with the following
warning label on the component side:
Components which are sensitive to electrostatic discharge can be
destroyed by voltages and energy levels which lie far below the perception
level of humans. Voltages such as these even occur if a person, who has
not been electrically discharged, comes into contact or touches a
component or a module. Components which have been subject to
overvoltages such as these, generally cannot be immediately identified as
having been damaged. This only becomes obvious after a somewhat
longer operating time.
