ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
Static Electricity or power surge will damage the LED. Suggestions to prevent ESD damage:
Use a conductive wrist band or anti-electrostatic glove when handling these LEDs.
All devices, equipment, and machinery must be properly grounded.
Work tables, storage racks, etc. should be properly grounded.
Use ion blower to neutralize the static charge which might have built up on surface of the LED’s
plastic lens as a result of friction between LEDs during storage and handling.
ESD-damaged LEDs will exhibit abnormal characteristics such as high reverse leakage current, low
forward voltage, or “no light up” at low currents. To verify for ESD damage, check for “light up” and V
F
of the suspect LEDs at low currents. The V
F
of “good” LEDs should be >2.0V@0.1mA for InGaN
product.
Suggested Checking List
Static-Safe Workstation & Work Areas
1. Static-safe working stations or work-areas have ESD signs.
2. All surfaces and objects at all static-safe workstation and within 1 ft measure less than 100V.
3. All ionizer activated, positioned towards the units.
4. Each work surface mats grounding is good.
Personnel Grounding
1. Every person (including visitors) handling ESD sensitive (ESDS) items wear wrist strap, heel
strap or conductive shoes with conductive flooring.
2. If conductive footwear used, conductive flooring also present.
3. Garments, hairs or anything closer than 1 ft to ESD items measure less than 100V.
4. The wrist strap or heel strap/conductive shoes are checked daily and result recorded.
5. All wrist strap or heel strap checkers calibration up to date.
Device Handling
1. Each ESDS items identified by EIA-471 labels on item or packaging..
2. No static charge generators (e.g. plastics) inside shielding containers with ESDS items.
3. All flexible conductive and dissipative package materials are inspected before reuse or
recycles
