Esd Precautions And Proper Handling Procedures - Panasonic Grid-EYE User Manual

7 ESD precautions and proper handling procedures

This section includes the precautions for mechanical handling and static precautions to
be taken to avoid ESD damage:

Avoid carpets in cool, dry areas. Leave development kits in their anti-static
packaging until ready to be installed.

Dissipate static electricity before handling any system components (development
kits) by touching a grounded metal object, such as the system unit unpainted
metal chassis.

If possible, use antistatic devices, such as wrist straps and floor mats.

Always hold an evaluation board by its edges. Avoid touching the contacts and
components on the board.

Take care when connecting or disconnecting cables. A damaged cable can cause a
short in the electrical circuit.

Prevent damage to the connectors by aligning connector pins before you connect
the cable. Misaligned connector pins can cause damage to system components at
power-on.

When disconnecting a cable, always pull on the cable connector or strain-relief
loop, not on the cable itself.
