Static Sensitive
Components
TM 502A Instruction Manual
Maintenance
This section provides maintenance and service information for the TM 502A
power module .
Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this
instrument .
This instrument contains electrical components that are susceptible to
damage from static discharge. See Table
3-1 for relative susceptibility of
various classes of semiconductors. Static voltages of
1 kV to 30 kV are
common in unprotected environments .
