Handling of Electronic Components and ESD
The possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever
components are transported, stored, or used. The risk of ESD damage can be
greatly reduced by paying close attention to how all components are handled.
— Perform work on all components at a static-safe workstation.
— Keep static-generating materials at least one meter away from all
— Store or transport components in static-shielding containers.
Always handle printed circuit board assemblies by the edges. This will
reduce the possibility of ESD damage to components and prevent
contamination of exposed plating.
Test Equipment Usage and ESD
— Before connecting any coaxial cable to an analyzer connector, momentarily
— Personnel should be grounded with a 1 megohm resistor-isolated
— Be sure that all analyzers are properly earth-grounded to prevent build-up
