Electrostatic Discharge
Electronic components on printed circuit boards are extremely sensitive to static electricity.
Ordinary amounts of static electricity generated by your clothing or work environment can
damage electronic equipment. Use anti-static ground straps and anti-static mats when
handling components to prevent damage due to electrostatic discharge.
Compliance with RoHS and WEEE Directives
