Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) results from the static electricity buildup on the human body and
other objects. This static discharge can degrade components and cause failures.
Take the following precautions against electrostatic discharge:
 Use an anti-static bench mat and a wrist strap or ankle strap designed to safely ground ESD
potentials through a resistive element.
 Keep components in their anti-static packaging until installed.
 Avoid touching electronic components when installing a module.
