ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on
electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe workstation.
Static-safe Workstation
A typical static-safe workstation is illustrated in the following diagram. There are two
types of ESD protection:
• Wrist-strap (with >1 MΩ isolation to ground) with table mat.
• Heel-strap (with >1 MΩ isolation to ground) with conductive floor mat.
These two types must be used together to ensure adequate ESD protection. Isolation to
ground must be provided for personnel protection.
