So would the proper technique be as follows: 1. Grounded operator picks up PCB from ESD rack and attaches a 1meg(wrist strap cord)shunt to ground to a grounding surface on the pcb. 2. operator sprays conformal coating onto pcb using a spr

1. If a populated PCB is put on a ESD safe Rack, is it able to be placed on a Plastic Shelf? = I would say no, here is why: if there is an esd event on the rack/tray where will it go with no path to ground? being the rack is a generator you are going

3 more questions I promise. :) 1. If a populated PCB is put on a ESD safe Rack, is it able to be placed on a Plastic Shelf? 2. If a populated PCB is put in a covered ESD box, is it able to be placed on a Plastic Shelf? 3. Could we put ESD vinyl

Umar, We don't think you've violated ESD handling in the manner you've described. If your employees were wearing foot straps, and your floors are conductive/grounded. I've run into this at multiple companies, where transporting the PCBs station

To add to what Rob has said, Have you considered an ESD safe environment? Floors, Racks, tables, etc.... Also the humidity level of your area incase you use MSD parts? Just a thought.

Bill, Likely the latex isn't conductive, so charges will not be dissipated to the metal rack. Whether that constitutes an ESD risk or not will depend on the generative properties of the latex. I've never tested units inside my wash, so I can't spe

You are correct about the location of wood on your friendly neighborhood triboelectric scale. But unfortunately for us [and fortunately for the ESD protected material board rack salesperson], the scale does not recognize the effect of the moisture t

I'm in the middle of developing an ESD program at my company, trying to adhere to S20.20 as much as possible (and the suggestions of the ESD audit conducted before I got here). I've been discussing the pros/cons of pink-poly foams and black foams.

I am about to place a huge PO for ESD boxes. Our assemblies need to be placed horizontally in the stainless racks until wavesoldered, but after the wash they will be placed in the boxes. The boxes have a conductive film but they are still cardboard
