Observe the following precautions to avoid damage:
Minimize handling of staticĆsensitive components.
Transportand store staticĆsensitive components or assemblies in their
original containers, antiĆstatic tube rail, or conductive foam. Label any
package that contains staticĆsensitive assemblies or components.
Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a wrist strap
while handling these components. Servicing staticĆsensitive assemblies
or components should be performed only at a staticĆfree work station by
qualified service personnel. Werecommend using the static control mat,
Refer to Table4Ć2 for the part numbers of these test equipment.
Keepthe work station surface free of anything that can generate or hold
a static charge.
Keepthe component leads shorted together whenever possible by
storing them in conductive foam or rails.
Pick up components by the body,never by the leads.
Do not slide the components over any surface.
Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or workĆsurface
