Electrostatic sensitive device (ESD) use precautions

Some semiconductor (solid state) devices are easily damaged by static electricity, and such components are commonly referred to as electrostatic sensitive device devices (ESD). Typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field effect transistors. The following methods reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor components or components, place static electricity from the body by touching a known grounding point. Another type of dispensing is a wristband device with a discharge. To avoid the danger of clicking, be sure to remove the wristband before applying power to the LCD TV.

2. After removing the ESD components, place them on a conductive surface (such as aluminum foil) to prevent static buildup.

3. Do not use Freon-containing chemicals, which will generate enough charge to destroy ESD.

4. Use only grounded aluminum iron to weld or weld ESD.

5. Use only anti-static de-soldering devices. Some de-soldering devices that are not classified as "anti-static" may generate electric charges that destroy the ESD.

6. Do not remove the device from the protective packaging with ESD before preparing for installation. Most ESDs are packaged with wires that are shorted by conductive foam, aluminum foil or other conductive material.

7. The protective material should be in contact with the floor and circuit components of the mounting device before the protective material is about to be removed from the ESD wire of the device.

Note: Do not apply power to the backplane or circuit and follow other safety precautions.

8. Minimize physical activity when handling unpacked spare ESD. Some sports such as rubbing clothes or lifting the foot from a carpeted floor create static electricity that can damage the ESD.
