Electrostatic Discharge Information
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
All work on electronic assemblies should be performed at a static-safe work
station. Figure 0-1 shows an example of a static-safe work station using two
types of ESD protection:
 Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
 Conductive oor-mat and heel-strap combination.
Both
types
,
when
used
together
,
provide
a
signicant
level
of
ESD
protection.
Of the
two,
only the
table-mat and
wrist-strap
combination
provides
adequate
ESD protection
when used
alone.
