ESD Precautions

Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
●
Do not touch the component pins, leads, or circuitry.
●
Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system before handling components. If a wrist
●
strap is not available, maintain contact with the system throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
● Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.
