part of the assembly being worked on, but
not to electronic components,
exposed wires or traces, or pins on connectors.

on components or assemblies that have been removed from the MSD. This
includes the analyzer.
To be effective, an antistatic wrist strap must fit snugly (not tight). A loose strap
provides little or no protection.
Antistatic precautions are not 100% effective. Handle electronic circuit boards as little
as possible and then only by the edges. Never touch components, exposed traces, or
pins on connectors and cables.
