PUR Foam AS35 Dissipative, Pink, 553 x 353 mm, 6 mm Thick

Parts inside an ESD container must neither slide around nor pick up charge. This PUR foam insert, cut to 553 x 353 mm, is set up dissipative at 10E7 to 10E11 ohm, so charge drains through the material in a controlled way. At 6 mm it is the thinnest grade in the range, intended as a base or interleaf layer that barely reduces the usable height of the container.

Benefits

• Resistance of 10E7 to 10E11 ohm keeps the foam in the dissipative range, it does not charge up while parts are placed and removed.
• Soft grade, sensitive components and populated assemblies rest without pressure marks.
• 6 mm thickness, a flat layer for containers whose internal height is already tight.
• Cut to 553 x 353 mm, suitable as a full-surface insert in cartons and containers of this format.
• Pink colour makes the dissipative insert visually distinct from insulating packaging foam.
• PUR base material, open cell and light, the insert adds almost nothing to the shipping weight.

Application

The sheet is used as a base layer in ESD cartons and containers, as an interleaf when stacking populated boards, and as a soft rest at the workstation inside the EPA. During in-house transport it damps shocks without interrupting charge equalisation.

Note on the range

The 553 x 353 mm sheet is available in several thicknesses. This article is the 6 mm version.
