Removal and Replacement Preliminaries 4.4 Preventing Electrostatic Damage Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries ■ Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam. ■ Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Ensure that mechanized equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid static charging.
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries 4.7 Grounding Equipment and Methods Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation. ■ When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords.
Page 70
Removal and Replacement Preliminaries ■ Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes ■ Metal tote boxes ■ Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials Table 4-1 shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by different activities. Table 4-1 Typical Electrostatic Voltage Levels Relative Humidity Event Walking across carpet...
