Protecting against electrostatic discharge
Protecting against electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components
(the possibility of unseen damage caused by ESD is present whenever
components are transported, stored, or used).
Test Equipment and ESD
To help reduce ESD damage that can occur while using test equipment:
— Before connecting any coaxial cable to an instrument connector for the first
time each day, momentarily short the center and outer conductors of the
cable together.
— Personnel should be grounded with a 1 M
resistor-isolated wrist-strap
before touching the center pin of any connector and before removing any
assembly from the instrument.
— Be sure that all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent
build-up of static charge.
— Perform work on all components or assemblies at a static-safe workstation.
— Keep static-generating materials at least one meter away from all
components.
— Store or transport components in static-shielding containers.
— Always handle printed circuit board assemblies by the edges. This reduces
the possibility of ESD damage to components and prevent contamination of
exposed plating.
Additional Information About ESD
For more information about ESD and how to prevent ESD damage, contact the
Electrostatic Discharge Association (http://www.esda.org). The ESD standards
developed by this agency are sanctioned by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Do not use these first three techniques when working on circuitry
with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
