methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Useawriststrapconnectedbyagroundcordtoagrounded
workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps
with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the strap snug
against the skin.
• Useheelstraps,toestraps,orbootstrapsatstandingworkstations.
Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors
or dissipati ng floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating
work mat.
