A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is...

Packaging and transporting guidelines
Follow these grounding guidelines when packaging and transporting equipment:
●To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe tubes, bags, or boxes.
●Protect ESD-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging.
●Keep ESD-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.

Equipment guidelines
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.
●When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps

wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors,
use alligator clips to connect a wrist strap.
●When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat....
