We can all agree that blowing up your equipment is bad. To avoid that, here are 6 best practices in under 60 seconds:

1 – Use grounded wrist straps whenever you’re handling equipment and boards

2 – Use grounded mats on your workspace and NOT high resistance and insulated materials

3 – Keep potentially charged materials at least a foot away from your exposed assemblies to avoid inductive charging

4 – Discharge you cables before connecting them. First, make sure your device is not powered on. Second, connect your cable to your device. Third, attach a 50 ohm shunt or short to the open end, finally, remove the shunt and attach your device to your gear 5 – Use board standoffs on your ESD mats as needed

6 – Never trust pink packing. Don’t use it. Don’t.

7 – Cap your unused equipment inputs to avoid accidental ESD damage.

And there you have it! 6 ways to avoid blowing up your equipment in under 60 seconds. So you don’t forget any of those, download the free checklist linked above.
