Protecting IC pins with foam

[Demon]

The first link doesn't seem worried for standard LEDs, it seems more concerned when there's a module involved (I have none).

electrostatic discharge when touching LED strips is not harmful and usually not even noticeable. On the other hand, LED modules can quickly be damaged to a considerable degree - even at low charges.

From the 2nd link:

Zener diodes and bridge rectifiers are normally not ESD sensitive. The same is true for larger diodes (e.g. 1N400x) - but special low leakage fast diodes / schottkys can be ESD sensitive. Also modern LEDs and especially laser diodes are ESD sensitive.

Interesting, I guess I'm putting tiny, fast and Schottky diodes and SMD LEDs at least on mylar lining.

This is how I went about with version 2 of mylar linings.

Just rambling sharing ideas and thoughts about my inventory adventure:




I'm still learning OBS Studio, so I still make mistakes in setting and macros, but at least I'm getting there.

I can't believe I've been able to do all my videos in 1 take no edits.

It makes for longer material, cause I'm not following a script, or even a checklist of items. I initially wanted to, then said "awe, what the heck. I'm an amateur, I'm gonna look like one".

Oh, man! You put a lot of work and effort into this, right? And I am sure you have the longest list of parts!

I wonder when I will organize my stuff too. Have less parts but in any case it is good to have them in such an order.

I like the work you done. Alot!

But for complete ESD protection please consider to get an ESD wrist and mat for the bench. Even better for the floor too.

Thank you for the videos.

Finished reloading the older cabinet; what i call Series A.
