Static Electricity

Static electricity collects on non-conductors such as paper, cloth, or plastic. A static
discharge can be damaging even though you often cannot see or feel it. To prevent
damage to circuit boards and/or components:
•
Before touching any circuit board or component, put on a properly-grounded,
anti-static wrist strap.
•
Keep circuit boards and components away from non-conductors.
•
Keep clothing away from circuit boards and components.
•
Keep circuit boards in anti-static bags.
