ESD electronics diagonal cutter with wire catcher, dissipative handles, 115 mm - Knipex 77 12 115 ESDSB

At an ESD protected workstation no tool may discharge a component uncontrolled or build up a charge itself. The 77 12 115 ESDSB is therefore the dissipative version of the 115 mm cutter with wire catcher and a round head with small bevel. It is supplied on a self-service blister card.

Benefits

• ESD version with electrically dissipative grips for workstations built to IEC 61340-5-1.
• The wire catcher at the head retains the cut-off piece, no offcuts fly off uncontrolled onto the assembly.
• Durable, load-optimised design with a backlash-free box joint, the cutting edges stay accurately aligned over many cuts.
• Slim multi-component grips drawn up towards the head allow fine and comfortable gripping between thumb and index finger.
• Less physical effort thanks to the high transmission ratio, the load-optimised shape gives a more direct feel when working.
• Low-friction double spring for smooth and even opening, the cutter is ready again immediately after every cut.
• Cutting edges additionally laser hardened to about 62 HRC, which keeps them sharp over a long service life.
• The mirror-polished head with a fine oil film protects against rust, no circuit faults caused by flaking chrome particles.

Areas of use

Electronics manufacturing and service on electrostatic sensitive devices, board assembly and rework, laboratory and prototype building. Wherever the EPA rules call for dissipative hand tools.
