5. Place any static sensitive devices or assemblies in anti-static
storage bags or bins and close the bag or bin before unplugging
your wrist strap.
6. Disconnecting your wrist strap is always the last action taken
before leaving the workbench.
Transferring Components from Rack to Bench
and Back
When transferring a sensitive device from an installed Teledyne API
analyzer to an Anti-ESD workbench or back:
1. Follow the instructions listed above for working at the
instrument rack and workstation.
2. Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an
anti-ESD bag or bin.
3. Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on
it to dissipate:
• If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand
while your wrist strap is connected to a ground point.
• If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container down
on the conductive work surface.
• In either case wait several seconds.
4. Place the item in the container.
5. Seal the container. If using a bag, fold the end over and
fastening it with anti-ESD tape.
• Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside
from the effects of static fields.
• Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without
folding it closed prevents the bag from forming a complete
protective envelope around the device.
6. Once you have arrived at your destination, allow any surface
charges that may have built up on the bag or bin during travel
to dissipate:
• Connect your wrist strap to ground.
• If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand
while your wrist strap is connected to a ground point.
• If you are at a anti-ESD work bench, lay the container down
on the conductive work surface
• In either case wait several seconds
7. Open the container.
Opening Shipments from Teledyne API’S
Customer Service
Packing materials such as bubble pack and Styrofoam pellets are
extremely efficient generators of static electric charges. To prevent
damage from ESD, Teledyne API ships all electronic components
and assemblies in properly sealed anti-ESD containers.
Static charges will build up on the outer surface of the anti-ESD
container during shipping as the packing materials vibrate and rub
