1.3.ESDprecautions

Certainsemiconductordevicescanbeeasilydamagedbystaticelectricity.Suchcomponentsarecommonlycalled “ElectrostaticallySensitive(ES)Devices”orESDs.ExamplesoftypicalESDsare:integratedcircuits,someeldeffect transistors,andsemiconductor“chip”components.Thetechniquesoutlinedbelowshouldbefollowedtohelpreducethe incidenceofcomponentdamagecausedbystaticelectricity.
CAUTION
Besurenopowerisappliedtothechassisorcircuit,andobserveallothersafetyprecautions.
1)Immediatelybeforehandlingasemiconductorcomponentorsemiconductor-equippedassembly,drainoffany electrostaticchargeonyourbodybytouchingaknownearthground.Alternatively,employacommerciallyavailable wriststrapdevice,whichshouldberemovedforyourpersonalsafetyreasonspriortoapplyingpowertotheunit undertest.
2)AfterremovinganelectricalassemblyequippedwithESDs,placetheassemblyonaconductivesurface,suchas aluminumorcopperfoil,orconductivefoam,topreventelectrostaticchargebuildupinthevicinityoftheassembly.
3)UseonlyagroundedtipsolderingirontosolderordesolderESDs.
4)Useonlyan“anti-static”solderremovaldevice.Somesolderremovaldevicesnotclassiedas“anti-static”can generateelectricalchargessufcienttodamageESDs.
5)DonotuseFreon-propelledchemicals.Whensprayed,thesecangenerateelectricalchargessufcienttodamageESDs.
6)DonotremoveareplacementESDfromitsprotectivepackaginguntilimmediatelybeforeinstallingit.Most replacementESDsarepackagedwithallleadsshortedtogetherbyconductivefoam,aluminumfoil,oracomparable conductivematerial.
7)ImmediatelybeforeremovingtheprotectiveshortingmaterialfromtheleadsofareplacementESD,touchtheprotective materialtothechassisorcircuitassemblyintowhichthedevicewillbeinstalled.
8)MaintaincontinuouselectricalcontactbetweentheESDandtheassemblyintowhichitwillbeinstalled,until completelypluggedorsolderedintothecircuit.
