2.3.2 Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
To prevent damage from ESD, electronic assemblies, or components with a
high internal resistance must be handled, packaged, and stored in an environ-
ment that protects against ESD. Measures that protect against electrostatic dis-
charge and electric fields are described in DIN EN 61340-5-1 and DIN EN
61340-5-2 "Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena".
When sending back electronic assemblies or components, please note the fol-
lowing:
• Pack sensitive components only in an environment providing protection
against ESD. Such workplaces conduct existing electrostatic charges to
ground in a controlled manner and prevent electrostatic charge buildup due
to friction.
• Use only packaging intended specifically for ESD-sensitive assemblies/com-
ponents. These must be made from conductive plastics.
No liability is assumed for damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
CAUTION!
Electrostatic charges occur in non-ESD-protected environments.
Electrostatic discharge can damage assemblies or components.
For transport purposes, use only the ESD packaging provided.
