MSP430G2955: ESD diode for programming pins

Part Number: MSP430G2955
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ESD321

Hi,

We are using a connector to program the microcontroller. The pins used for programming are RST and TEST. Even though the board is placed inside an enclosure, due to pins on the connector it opens a possibility of ESD event on the programming pins. What are the methods for protecting these pins? Are there any specific diodes for programming pins? Can I use ESD321 for these pins?

Regards

Ashok
