Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
LINAK
®
considers ESD to be an important issue and years of experience have shown that equipment designed to meet the levels specified in standards
might be insufficient to protect electronic equipment in certain enviroments.
1. Handling and mounting electrostatic discharge sensitive devices (ESDS devices).
• Handling of sensitive components shall only take place in an ESD Protected Area (EPA) under protected and controlled conditions.
• Wrist straps and/or conductive footwear (personal grounding) shall always be used when handling ESDS devices.
• Sensitive devices shall be protected outside the EPA by the use of ESD protective packaging.
2. Responsibility LINAK/customer.
• ESDS devices must under no circumstances, during transport, storage, handling, production or mounting in an application, be exposed to harmfull ESD.
• LINAK can only guarantee the lifetime of ESDS devices if they are handled in the same way from production at LINAK A/S until they are mounted
in the manufacturer’s application. It is therefore important that the ESDS devices are not removed from the ESD protected packaging before they
are physically within the EPA area at the customer premises.
