ESD Handling for Medical Imaging PCBs

Electronics in imaging systems are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Proper handling and packaging reduce storage and transit damage.

Handling best practices

  • Use grounded wrist straps and ESD mats during handling.
  • Store boards in antistatic bags with padding and separators.
  • Avoid stacking boards or placing weight on connectors.

Shipping checklist

  • ESD-safe bag, cushioned inner packaging, and rigid outer box.
  • Connector covers or caps when available.
  • Label the package as ESD sensitive.
