4.5 Packaging and Transporting
Precautions
Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and
transporting equipment:
■
To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe
containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes.
■
Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with
conductive or approved containers or packaging.
■
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until
the parts arrive at static-free workstations.
■
Place items on a grounded surface before removing items
from their containers.
■
Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive
component or assembly.
■
Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies
in protective packaging or nonconductive foam.
■
Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and
roller bushings. Ensure that mechanized equipment used for
moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials
are selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not
possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges.
