Destruction of the devices by electrostatic discharge possible! The devices contain components at risk from electrostatic discharge caused by improper handling. - Please ensure you are electrostatically discharged and avoid touching the spring contacts (see fig.) of the device directly.
- Avoid contact with highly insulating materials (synthetic fibers, plastic film etc.).
- Surroundings (working place, packaging and personnel) should by grounded probably, when handling with the devices.
- Each assembly must be terminated at the right hand end with a KL9010 bus end terminal, to ensure the protection class and ESD protection.
