Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Information
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Information
ESD can damage or destroy electronic components. All work on electronic
assemblies should be performed at a static–safe workstation using two types
of static–safe workstation protection:
— conductive table–mat and wrist–strap combination
—conductive floor–mat and heel–strap combination
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection.
Of the two, only the table–mat and wrist–strap combination provides adequate
ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the static–safe
accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground.
The following techniques related to ESD and static–safe workstations should not
be used when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
