PIC Static Sensitivity
Hi guys,
I just have a quick question, before I construct a kit. Are 16F84 PICs static sensitive to ESD? |

Are they?
 Because the kit instruction says that 16F84 is static sensitive... But I've seen a few people who handled those ICs without a wrist strap...  Which is the truth? I would like to hear opinions from others as well... |

it's probably safer to use a strap...but in all the years of playing with PICs...I haven got any killed yet save for one which I accidentally put too close to my ignition coil and turned the coil on...of course it got fried...but that's outta the point...

I just wanna tell you guys that I really don't want to damage this chip.
The IC is pre-programed, so I don't even know to program a new IC. If the IC goes off, the entire kit goes off ( waste of $)  And I don't have any experience with a wrist strap... Do they work on a 'dry' skin as well??

if u're really scared you can just read of the contents save it and if something goes wrong you can easily reprogram another...and yes wrist straps work on dry skin...

I suggest that you read the datasheet about that. In real life they aren't more sensitive than other similar IC but they should be handle with care.

Ive never handled them "carefully" and ive never fried one. Even after repeatedly dropping them on the floor, sweeping them up with a broom, putting them in a socket backwards etc.

 Quote: "and yes wrist straps work on dry skin..." I wonder how they work even on a dry skin, which is hardly conductive...
