I am having some trouble finding an ESD safe wash basket liner. The trouble isn't finding someone who sells a product, the problem is all 3 products I have evaluated fail testing. All 3 were generators in excess of 2kv with 1 hitting over 4kv! This i

0603's and 0402's are being damaged by the water wash post reflow. PCA's are 1" X 4" and 2" X 2" approximately. We've adjusted water pressure so that the top-down is higher than the bottom up. The baskets have a .5" mesh spacing. Some baskets h

We are testing a basket that uses wire webbing like the chain on the wash machine instead of an inflexible lid. A rep from the company is coming in and we will get a quote then but I think they are going to be pricey.
