In terms of component sensitivity, what defines Level 1 components?

Level 1 components are categorized as being sensitive to static electricity, specifically being able to withstand voltages up to 16,000 volts. This classification indicates that while these components can tolerate some level of electrostatic discharge (ESD), they are still vulnerable and can be damaged by ESD events at these voltage thresholds. Understanding this level of sensitivity is crucial for personnel working with these components, as they must implement appropriate handling and protection measures to prevent damage during installation, maintenance, or repairs.

The other options relate to different sensitivity levels but do not accurately reflect the specific characteristics of Level 1 components. For instance, being "highly resistant" or "very low sensitivity" would apply to different levels of components, while "moderate sensitivity" suggests a different threshold that does not align with the defined limits for Level 1 components.
