●
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.
●
Use fixtures made of static-safe materials
when fixtures must directly contact
dissipative surfaces.
●
Keep work area free of conductive
materials, such as plastic assembly aids
and Styrofoam.
●
Use field service tools (such as cutters,
screwdrivers, and vacuums) that are non-
conductive.
