Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

Electrostatic charges can damage the integrated circuits on printed circuit boards. To prevent such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during board unpacking and installation:

• Stand on a static-free mat.

• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from your body to ground.

• Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free mat, static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.

• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.

• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed them from their protective antistatic bags.
