NOTE:
Electrical components which are particularly sensitive to electrostatic discharge (electronic control units, sensors, etc.) are marked with the ESD warning symbol.
E -Electro
S -Static
D -Discharge
Statically charged persons can discharge by touching electrical components.
NOTE:
Humans can only detect a discharge starting from a level of approx. 3000 V.
The danger threshold for electrical components already starts from a level of approx. 100 V.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch pins or multi-pin connectors directly!
Touch electrical components by their housings only.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent electrical components from being damaged or destroyed by electrostatic discharge, it is absolutely essential to comply with the following instructions:
- When replacing electrical components, leave the replacement components in their original packaging until immediately before they are to be installed
- If necessary, always return a removed component in its original packaging (always pack the component away immediately)
- Read and comply with user information on using the associated ESD special tool 12 7 060
