CONTROLLING ELECTROSTATIC BUILD-UP MAKES ECONOMIC SENSE. While the cost of a faulty component at acceptance-test stage is relatively small, it starts to increase once the component has reached the board, and escalates markedly once a fault involves sending back a complete unit. But the most important benefit in controlling static electricity is customer satisfaction. Facom solves the problem with an antistatic range to EN 100-015/1. For safe work on printed circuits, all tools and equipment used should be interlinked and effectively connected to earth. Measurements and tests on antistatic screwdrivers and electronics pliers have been carried out in laboratories approved by the electrical industry. Safety first: Never use antistatic tools when working on live components. BULLET-NOSE PLIERS SLIM-JOINT MODELS FOR PRECISION W ISO 9654 Suitable for miniature electronic components.
