Static shielding bags

29 October 2008 Circuit & System Protection

Altico supplies a range of static shielding bags for ESD-safe packaging of printed circuit boards and ICs.

The BBAS7200 range have a ‘buried layer, metal-in’ construction with layers (from outside to inside) of dissipative coating/metallised PET/dissipative LDPE, for a total gauge of 0,08 mm ±10%. They are amine free and polycarbonate compatible, and exhibit puncture resistance of 85 kPa and light transmission of 40%.

The bags are printed with ESD and moisture warning symbols, date and lot code for traceability. They meet or exceed IEC 61340-5-1 regulations, with static shielding less than 10 nJ and static delay less than 0,03 seconds.

A zip top version of the bags is also available, as an alternative to folding and securing them with an ESD caution label. In addition, Altico supplies 500 metre rolls of 100 micron thick ESD tubing – in widths of 110 mm and 200 mm – which customers can purchase and cut to requisite sizes, before heat-sealing.

The static shielding bags are available in sizes ranging from 76 x 127 mm to 457 x 610 mm.
