Electrostatic Discharge

A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.

Preventing Electrostic Discharge

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

QAvoid hand contact by transporting and storing parts in static-safe containers.

QKeep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

QPlace parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
