Static Sensitive
Devices
This instrument was constructed in an ESD
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The result can cause degradation of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials, and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices.
