Electrostatic Discharge Information

Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or
cleaning the PCIEG5-M2-TPA3 test adapters and connectors attached to a static-sensitive
circuit (such as those found in test set).
Electrostatic discharge can damage or destroy electronic components. Be sure to perform all
work on electronic assemblies at a static-safe workstation, using two types of ESD protection:

Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination

Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination
When used together, both types provide a significant level of ESD protection. Used alone, the
table-mat and wrist-strap combination provide adequate ESD protection. To ensure user safety,
the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground. Acceptable ESD
accessories may be purchased from a local supplier.
WARNING: These techniques for a static-safe workstation should not
be used when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater
than 500 volts.
