Instructions for ESD protection

Notice

Devices can be destroyed by electrostatic charging!

The devices contain electrostatically sensitive components which can be damaged by improper handling.

  • Please ensure you are electrostatically discharged when handling the components; also avoid touching the spring contacts directly (see illustration).
  • Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (synthetic fibers, plastic films etc.)
  • When handling the components, ensure good grounding of the environment (workplace, packaging and persons)
  • Each bus station must be terminated on the right side with the EL9011, EL9012 or ELM9012 end cap to ensure the protection rating and ESD protection.
