ESD protection

Static electricity generated by sources such as the human body and friction between microelectronics can discharge into the product through various pathways, potentially causing damage. Therefore, attention must be paid to ESD protection, and reasonable precautionary measures should be taken. For example: Wear anti-static gloves during R&D, production, assembly, and testing processes; during product design, add ESD protection components at circuit interfaces and other points vulnerable to electrostatic discharge.
