Electrostatic Sensitive Devices

Hi, 

I have recently received some nrf52840 Development Kits. It is written on the boxes:  "Electrostatic Sensitive Devices! Do not open or handle except at a static-free workstation"
Would you please tell me how I can handle this issue? Isn't it possible that I open the kits and work with them easily at my office?

  • Hi,

     

    It is possible to open the kits and work with them in your office, you should however take note that devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge and take care to minimalize the risk of this when handling the DKs. Normal development with no antistatic equipment does not normally cause ESD damage to the DKs, but it can happen.

     

    Best regards,
