3 General Safety Precautions and Usage Considerations

3-3

• When storing printed circuit boards which have devices mounted on them, use a board container or bag that is

protected against static charge. To avoid the occurrence of static charge or discharge due to friction, keep the

boards separate from one other and do not stack them directly on top of one another.

• Ensure, if possible, that any articles (such as clipboards) which are brought to any location where the level of

static electricity must be closely controlled are constructed of anti-static materials.

• In cases where the human body comes into direct contact with a device, be sure to wear anti-static finger

covers or gloves (suggested resistance value: 108

Ω or less).

• Equipment safety covers installed near devices should have resistance ratings of 109 Ω or less.

• If a wrist strap cannot be used for some reason, and there is a possibility of imparting friction to devices, use

an ionizer.

• The transport film used in TCP products is manufactured from materials in which static charges tend to build

up. When using these products, install an ionizer to prevent the film from being charged with static electricity.

Also, ensure that no static electricity will be applied to the product’s copper foils by taking measures to

prevent static occuring in the peripheral equipment.

Vibration, impact and stress

Handle devices and packaging materials with care. To avoid damage to devices,

do not toss or drop packages. Ensure that devices are not subjected to

mechanical vibration or shock during transportation. Ceramic package devices

and devices in canister-type packages which have empty space inside them are

subject to damage from vibration and shock because the bonding wires are

secured only at their ends.

Plastic molded devices, on the other hand, have a relatively high level of

resistance to vibration and mechanical shock because their bonding wires are

enveloped and fixed in resin. However, when any device or package type is installed in target equipment, it is to

some extent susceptible to wiring disconnections and other damage from vibration, shock and stressed solder

junctions. Therefore when devices are incorporated into the design of equipment which will be subject to

vibration, the structural design of the equipment must be thought out carefully.

If a device is subjected to especially strong vibration, mechanical shock or stress, the package or the chip itself

may crack. In products such as CCDs which incorporate window glass, this could cause surface flaws in the

glass or cause the connection between the glass and the ceramic to separate.

Furthermore, it is known that stress applied to a semiconductor device through the package changes the

resistance characteristics of the chip because of piezoelectric effects. In analog circuit design attention must be

paid to the problem of package stress as well as to the dangers of vibration and shock as described above.
