13 Handling, Shipment & Storage
This chapter describes the methods for protection of RX Oncore against ESD damage or degradation during the
manufacturing operations to ESD exposure.
13.1
Handling
1)
DO NOT allow anyone who is not properly grounded to touch RX Oncore module. To be
grounded, they must be standing on a conductive floor mat with conductive heel straps attached
to footwear or must wear a grounded wrist strap.
2)
DO NOT touch the RX Oncore module by the pins or leads unless it is properly grounded since
most ESD damage is done at these points.
3)
DO NOT handle the RX Oncore module during transport from work station to work station unless
protected by shielding bags. The RX Oncore module must never be directly handled by anyone
who is not grounded.
4)
DO NOT wax grounded static controlled conductive floor and bench top mats. This would allow
build-up of an insulating layer and thus defeating the purpose of a conductive work surface.
5)
DO NOT touch the RX Oncore module with clothing or textiles even though grounded wrist strap
is worn. This does not apply if conductive coats are worn.
6)
DO check the grounded wrist strap connections daily before starting work with the RX Oncore.
7)
DO use ionizing air blowers in static controlled areas when the use of plastic (nonconductive)
material cannot be avoided.
8)
DO remove RX Oncore module from shielding bags only when grounded via wrist strap at
grounded work station.
9)
The diagram below shows an example of a work bench properly equipped to control electro-static
discharge. Please note that the wrist strap is connected to a 1 Mohm resistor. This resistor can be
omitted in the setup if the wrist strap has a 1 Mohm assembled on the cable attached.
