ESD safe bins are used for safely transporting or storing electronic components that are prone to damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) – the flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects. ESD safe bins be used for items such as circuit boards or for other semiconductor and electronic component handling applications.
Features and benefits of ESD safe bins
ESD safe bins are:
Usually made from polypropylene – a conductive material that provides permanent electrostatic discharge and static protection.
Sometimes lined with anti-static foam for extra electrical device protection.
Types of ESD safe bins
There's a range of differently sized and designed ESD safe bins to choose from, depending on your needs. There are open box, space-saving styles that can be stacked for increased flexibility. They can be easily fitted to a wall panel or rack and may come with index cards for organisation. For the safe transportation of your electronic components, opt for closed protective cases with handles. You can also add case divider trays for separating components.
