Grounding the work
area to prevent static
damage
●
Cover the work surface with approved
static-dissipative material. Use a wrist strap
connected to the work surface, and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
●
Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or
air ionizers to give added protection.
●
Handle electrostatic-sensitive components,
parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB
laminate. Handle them only in static-free
work areas.
●
Disconnect power and input signals before
inserting and removing connectors or test
equipment.
●
Use xtures made of static-safe materials
when xtures must directly contact dissipative
surfaces.
●
Keep work area free of nonconductive
materials, such as plastic assembly aids and
Styrofoam.
●
Use eld service tools (such as cutters,
screwdrivers, and vacuums) that are
conductive.
