Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
The following practices minimize possible damage to ICs resulting from electrostatic discharge or improper insertion.
• Keep parts in original containers until ready for use.
• Avoid having plastic, vinyl or styrofoam in the work area.
• Wear a properly installed anti-static wrist-strap.
• Discharge personal static before handling devices.
• Remove and insert boards with care.
• When removing boards, handle only by non-conductive surfaces and never touch open-edge connectors except at a static-free workstation.*
• Minimize handling of ICs.
• Handle each IC by its body.
• Do not slide ICs or boards over any surface.
• Insert ICs with the proper orientation, and watch for bent pins on ICs.
• Use anti-static containers for handling and transport.
* To make a plastic-laminated workbench anti-static, wash with a solution of Lux liquid detergent, and allow to dry without rinsing.
