| Nov 3, 2016 at 20:08 | comment | added | jonk | Consider that these components are tied into other components with multiple, tiny protection diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc., all tied into the same nodes. It's also difficult to reach or touch certain areas, too. If you have any really high impedance nodes, even getting close can be a problem. But often, then adding static zap or efield protection to those nodes ruins their performance, too. So in some cases you'll see mental cans soldered around those areas. Use your judgment but also do some testing and make adjustments when you find problems. | |
