Step 3: Electronics protection #
Here are some tips to prevent damage to the electronics:
- Keep the electronics inside the ESD bag right until you are asked to install them.
- Always touch the sides of the board while manipulating with it. Avoid touching the chips, capacitors, and other parts of the electronics.
- Before you touch the electronics, use any conductive (steel) structure nearby to neutralize any electro-static energy.
- Be extra cautious in rooms with carpets, which are a source of electrostatic energy.
- Clothes made of wool and certain synthetic fabrics can easily gather static electricity. It is safer to wear cotton clothing.
