3.5.1 Handling Printed Board Assemblies and IC Components
Note: Treating all components as if they are ESD sensitive, whether they
have IC components or not, reduces the risk for ESD and significantly
reduces the operating time between failure.
Caution!
Stop! This product contains components sensitive to ESD. Use an approved
ESD wrist strap, connected to the product grounding point, to avoid damaging
these components.
Caution!
Do! Always use an approved ESD wrist strap when working with sensitive
equipment. Damage to components mounted on printed board assemblies can
occur if an ESD wrist strap is not used.
3.5.2 Storing and Transporting Printed Board Assemblies and IC
Components
When storing or transporting printed board assemblies or IC components,
ensure one of the following:
• The item is stored or transported in its original packaging, or in other
anti-ESD material.
• The item is stored or transported in a conductive material, or a special IC
carrier that either short-circuits or insulates all leads of the components.
