PUR Foam AS35 Dissipative, Pink, 553 x 353 mm, 10 mm Thick

Anyone moving populated assemblies in containers needs an insert that cushions and still drains charge. This PUR sheet, cut to 553 x 353 mm, is set up dissipative at 10E7 to 10E11 ohm. At 10 mm it sits between the flat 6 mm layer and the thick 15 mm layer of the range and gives noticeably more travel than a plain base cover.

Benefits

• Resistance of 10E7 to 10E11 ohm keeps the insert in the dissipative range instead of storing charge.
• 10 mm thickness, real cushioning travel for parts with protruding leads or a sensitive underside.
• Soft grade, the material yields as parts are placed and leaves no pressure marks.
• Cut to 553 x 353 mm, covering the full base of cartons and containers in this format.
• Pink colour lets packing staff tell dissipative and insulating packaging apart at a glance.
• Open cell PUR, light enough to leave shipping weight practically unchanged.

Application

Common uses are a cushioned base layer in ESD cartons, an interleaf between stacked boards, and a rest for units under test at the measuring bench inside the EPA. The 10 mm let leads and connector headers sink in rather than bearing on a hard surface.

Note on the range

The 553 x 353 mm sheet is available in several thicknesses. This article is the 10 mm version.
