Electro‐static Controls

The packaging of static sensitive devices is just one aspect of the control process. It should never be considered in isolation, otherwise it will be just another item of expenditure that does nothing to solve the overall problem. Efficient and effective static protection involves a chain of precautions and the strength of the chain is determined by its weakest link. The best packaging in the world will not prevent static damage if just one of the other controls is inadequate.
