ESD Information
Protection from Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe
workstation. Figure 1-1 shows an example of a static-safe workstation using
two types of ESD protection:
o Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
o 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 megohm of isolation from ground.
Figure 1-1 Example of a Static-Safe Workstation
These techniques for a static-safe workstation should not be used
when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500
volts.
