WHY NECESSARY TO USE ?

Static sensitive devices (SSDs) are particularly vulnerable to damage from static charged human contact. Personnel handling these devices are generally unaware that walking across the floor or simply the friction of their clothing can build up massive electric charges up to 20 to 30,000 volts, which will destroy the chip at a touch. Even protective circuitry does not necessarily protect the device from static charges encountered during routine handling and packaging. All clean rooms should have ESD protected products.

The range of our ESD (Anti-static) products includes:

• Grounding products - Heel / toe straps, coiled cords, fibre / metal wristbands, bonding / earthing plugs

• Packaging - bags, bins, boxes and foam for storage and transportation

• Work surfaces - Vinyl or rubber matting for benches / work stations with heat and chemical resistance. Conductive / dissipative - single / 2 layer options.

• Storage - Wire carts, trolleys, panels, shelves, racks and trays for clean rooms

• Labels, signs and markings - includes self- adhesive warning labels (vinyl, flexible or rigid PVC), floor marking / packaging tape.

• Seating - clean room anti-static chairs - steel construction or conductive materials to provide continuous dissipation to ground. Can be supplied with a filter fitted to the seat pan to control particle migration.

• Instruments / ESD test equipment - Surface resistivity meters, wristband testers, charge indicators, test kits / test stations, calibration monitor / kit and continuous ground monitors.
