B.3 Basic measures for protection against discharge of static electricity
Ensure proper grounding
When working with electrostatically sensitive devices, make sure that the you, your
workstation, and the packaging are properly grounded. This prevents the accumulation of
static electricity.
Avoid direct contact
Never touch electrostatically sensitive devices if this can be avoided (for example, during
maintenance work). When you touch modules, make sure that you do not touch either the
pins on the modules or the printed conductors. If you follow these instructions, electrostatic
discharge cannot reach or damage sensitive components.
If you have to take measurements on a module, make sure that you first discharge any static
that may have accumulated in your body. To do this, touch a grounded metal object. Only
use grounded measuring instruments.
