C.3 Basic protective measures against discharge of static electricity
Ensure proper grounding
When handling electrostatically sensitive devices, ensure that human, workplace and packa-
ging are grounded properly to avoid static charging.
Avoid direct contact
Electrostatically sensitive devices should only be touched if this cannot be avoided (e.g.
when performing maintenance work). When you touch modules, make sure that you do not
touch either the pins on the modules or the printed conductors. In this way, the discharge
energy cannot reach and thus damage sensitive devices.
If you must perform measurements at a module, discharge your body first before performing
the work. To do so, touch a grounded metal object. To do so, touch grounded metal objects.
Use only grounded measuring and test equipment.
