TESTING:
A bit of a chore but I set up my ESD safe work area, strapped myself up for zero discharge voltage and ONLY ever handled these devices by the case edge.
ALWAYS treat MOSFET's with the greatest respect, particularly with regard to the potential of harming the device through static discharge and if you do make a mistake, they may not even fail immediately. I have had devices mysteriously fail weeks later and the cause was traced back to a technician who refused to put on the ESD wristband in our workshops, and he was wearing a nylon shirt! Urghhh! recipe for disaster!
These devices being offered have ALWAYS been stored on a strip of ESD Black foam and then within a clear plastic labelled packet.
