Protective measures when handling ESD sensitive components
Strict electrostatic protection measures must be taken when handling sensitive components and transporting between workstations and workstations in the protected area. This article introduces the protective measures when handling ESD sensitive components for readers' reference.
1. When handling sensitive components in the protective area, the first step is to use all the above measures to prevent components from being exposed to electrostatic fields and electrostatic discharge hazards.
Grounded workstations, static wristbands (foot rings), floor mats and work desk mats should be used together to provide complete protection.
2. In addition, the following operating principles shall be followed:
a. Reduce unnecessary contact with electrostatic sensitive components, and the less the better. The human body does not cause harm to the component unless you approach or touch it.
b. When the sensitive components are placed on the static dissipative table mat, the pins of the components should face down, so that the pins of the components can be protected.
c. Do not slide electrostatic sensitive components on any work surface. Sliding can cause friction and generate static charges.
d. When handling IC components, you should touch the component body and avoid touching the pins. The pins are the most likely conductive path to damage the components.
e. All in all, minimize the time required to handle electrostatic sensitive components.
3. When transporting sensitive components from an electrostatic safe area to another area, the following regulations should be observed:
a. Use a container that is clean, clearly marked with electrostatic protection signs, and is of a size suitable for placing sensitive components.
b. Make sure that the components can be completely placed in the container and the container is indeed sealed.
c. Do not place the components outside the protective container.
d. Adhesive tape approved for electrostatic protection can only be used in electrostatic protection containers; plastic folders or written materials are not allowed to be placed in the container, and any instructions and labels should be affixed to the outer layer of the container.
e. Use a trolley designed for placing electrostatic sensitive components.
f. Check whether the trolley is grounded and whether each layer of the frame is connected.
