21Electrostatic Discharge Information
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. The following figure shows an example of a static-safe work station
using two types of ESD protection:
•Conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination.
•Conductive floor-mat and heel-strap combination.
22Electrostatic Discharge Information
Both types, when used together, provide a significant level of ESD protection.
Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate
ESD protection when used alone.
To ensure user safety, the static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 M Ω of
isolation from ground. Refer to Table 3 on page 22 for information on ordering static-safe accessories.
W A R N I N G These techniques for a static-safe work station should not be used when working on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500
volts.
The following suggestions may help reduce ESD damage that occurs during
testing and servicing operations.
•Personnel should be grounded with a resistor-isolated wrist strap before re-
moving any assembly from the unit.
•Be sure all instruments are properly earth-grounded to prevent a buildup of
static charge.
Table 3 on page 22 lists static-safe accessories that can be obtained from Agi-
lent Technologies using the Agilent part numbers shown.
