ESD Protective Packaging
ESD safe trays are used for packaging, shipping, storage and during production of sensitive electronic components.
Protecting sensitive electronic components during shipping and production with ESD thermoformed trays insures the quality of these components at final assembly. Advantages of vacuum formed trays compared to injection molding are: low cost tooling, faster turn around, low quantities, large number of ESD materials.
The quality of ESD materials differs greatly from different suppliers. At Sohner Plastics we developed trusted suppliers over the years and we test every batch before and after thermoforming. The design of the tray is critical for the protection of the parts and we have extensive experience with many different parts.
We developed specialized tooling for High Precision automation trays and we provide high quality trays for your components.
Common ESD Materials:
HIPS-ESD
High Impact Polystyrene
Carbon filled, permanent conductivity, 101 to 106 Ohm. Excellent for high precision trays for automation.
Available in Conductive and Dissipative, sheet thickness up to 12mm. Black or other colors.
PET-ESD
Polyethylene Terephthalate
ESD coating over PET substrate, surface resistivity of 108 to 1010 Ohm. Ideal for disposable trays. Estimated shelf life after thermoforming at least 6 months.
Available thickness .010” to 0.045”, clear or other colors.
