Protection from Electrostatic Discharge

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All
work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation.

protection:
❏ Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
❏ Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination.
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection. Of
the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate ESD
protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must
provide at least 1 megohm of isolation from ground.
WARNING
These techniques for a static-safe workstation should not be used when
working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
