ESD Protection in Electronics Packaging
An introduction to anti-static, dissipative and shielding packaging.
Types of ESD packaging
- Anti-static (often pink) materials reduce charge generation.
- Dissipative materials allow charge to drain slowly.
- Conductive materials allow charge to move quickly.
- Shielding bags help protect contents from external discharges.
Important
ESD properties must be verified for each specific product, and handling should follow your ESD control programme.
