1.1 HANDLING OF MICROELECTRONIC DEVICES
The voltage and current requirements for microelectronic devices are of a very
low magnitude. It is therefore necessary to observe strict precautions to avoid
damage or destruction when carrying out functional testing and fault diagnosis.
There are some devices whose circuits can, by the very nature of their
construction, be damaged or destroyed by Static Electricity discharges resulting
simply from the manner in which they are handled.
These device are referred to as Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices (ESD). The
type of devices that are most susceptible to damage by static electricity are listed
in Table 2

SENSITIVE DEVICES
Aircraft are often fitted with racks containing removable circuit boards, or cards,
which often contain ESDs.
During the removal and replacement of the cards, the following procedure is to be
followed:
a).
The body of the operator must be grounded by using the wrist strap
provided, connected to the appropriate ground jack.
b).
The card is removed using the top and bottom, or left and right,
extractors on the card. Touching the connectors, leads or edge
connectors of the card must be avoided.
c).
d).
The replacement card is then removed from its conductive bag and
installed following the precautions listed above.
1.6 LABELLING
An obviously important requirement is the identification of the packaging
containing ESDs and of any assembly, be it a PCB of an LRU, which contains
ESDs. For this purpose there are special decals. These are affixed to packaging
and assemblies.
In the case where the connector pins of an LRU may be susceptible to a
discharge, an additional decal is often affixed near the connector as a warning to
personnel not to touch the connector pins.
Figure 1 shows the type of ESD symbols and labels in use today.
