Static Solutions Inc. - Ohm - Stat RT - 1000 Information
ANSI/ESD-S20.20-1999
typically should have a tip to ground resistance of
less than 1.0 ohm.
Note - This resistance may increase with
use but should be less than 20.0 ohms for
verification purposes.
6.2.6.2. Battery Powered and Pneumatic Hand
Tools
Battery powered and pneumatic hand tools while
being held should have a resistance to ground of
less than 1 X 10
12
ohms.
6.2.6.3. Automated Handlers
All conductive or static dissipative components of
automated handling equipment should provide a
continuous conductive path to ground, whether
stationary or in motion. The equipment should
minimize charge generation of the ESDS items that
are handled. Where insulative materials are
necessary in the device path, they should be
designed to minimize electric fields and the charge
imparted to devices being handled.
6.2.7. Handling
6.2.7.1. Handling Procedure Requirements
ESD protective handling procedures shall be
established, documented, and implemented.
Handling procedures are required for all areas
where ESDS items are manually or machine
processed. When outside their protective covering
or packaging, ESDS items shall be handled only in a
Protected Area.
6.2.7.2. Handling Procedure Guidance
Handling procedures should address all operations
and locations where ESDS items will be handled in
protected and unprotected areas.
