We seem to have an awful lot of reels in our SMT stores that are not made of static safe material. True that many of the components are not static sensitive, but when we run SMT, they are being loaded right next to sensitive components. Is there an

I'd don't believe that the reels need to be ESD protective material. The carrier and cover tape have resistivity and materials specifications. Start with EIA-481. In past threads on SMTnet, we have discussed problems in picking components that wer

I had read something a long time ago about the effects of the Santa Anna winds on electro-static discharge. Does anyone know where I might be able to find information on this? Thanks, Nikki

Granite is a porous material and if anyone decided to clean this material you probably have an insulative barrier thus you would never have static dissipation. Spend $45.00 and put a mat over the granite or spend $80.00 and get an esd laminate materi

LarryP, ESD smocks in combination with a wrist strap provide a path to ground for any charge potential. An operator wearing a smock while grounded will provide a path to ground for the chair. With an ESD chair you can have antistatic or static

Even when you run a board several times, the machine may not make the same travel path every time. This in itself does not create a problem, but the vacuum on the nozzles could be different, dependent on the configuration of components on the heads.

Hello Everyone, I have been noticing a trend. Many tray packaged parts are now being supplied with velcro straps to secure the trays. Am I wrong in thinking that this is a major source of static electricity? All of these components are BGA, QFP, TSOP

Not being a smart alic, just curious....... So if velcro is made out of that black esd safe material then it is safe to use around sensitive parts? Is there no static discharge or is it transferred to the tray and out the mat/wriststrap? They could
