Electrostatic Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
printed circuit boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage
may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe
containers.
■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free work stations.
■ Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
container.
■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■ Make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
