Static-Sensitive Devices - Tektronix 7A26 Quick Start Manual

CAUTION
STATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES
Static
discharge can
damage
any semiconductor
component
in this
instrument.
Static voltages
of
IkV
to
30kV
are
common
in
unprotected environments.
TO
AVOID
DAMAGE. OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1.
Minimize handling
of static-sensitive
components.
2.
Transport and
store
static-sensitive
components
or
assemblies
in
their
original
containers,
on
a
metal
rail,
or
on
conductive foam.
Label
any package
that
contain^
static-sensitive assemblies
or
components,
3.
Discharge
the
static
voltage from your body
by
wearing
a wrist-strap
while handling these
components.
Servicing
static-sensitive
assemblies
or
components
should be performed
only
at
a
static-free
work
station by
qualified service
personnel.
4.
Nothing
capable
of
generating
or holding a
static
charge
should
be allowed on
the
work
station
surface.
5.
Keep
the
component
leads shorted together whenever
possible.
6.
Pick up
components
by
the
body, never
by the
leads.
7.
Do
not
slide the
components
over
any
surface.
8.
Avoid handling
components
in
areas
that
have
a
floor
or
work-surface
covering capable
of
retaining
a
static-charge,
9.
Use
a soldering
iron that
is
connected
to
earth
ground.
10.
Use
only approved.
anti-static
type.
desoldering
tools.
