SMD Hinged Boxes N3 Dissipative, Blue, Inner Size 41 x 37 x 15 mm, Pack of 25 - A1-ESD EP0710031

A desoldered connector or the remainder of an opened tape needs a place where it neither slides around nor sits unprotected. The N3 hinged box offers an internal space of 41 x 37 x 15 mm for that and is made from dissipative plastic on which charge does not sit. Base and lid of this version are blue, and the article is supplied as a pack of 25 boxes.

Benefits

• Inner size 41 x 37 x 15 mm, which takes connectors, relays or tray sections that are too bulky for the small sizes of the range.
• Dissipative grade, charge drains in a controlled way instead of collecting on an insulating wall.
• Blue base with a blue lid, an unambiguous colour code for one component group, one project or one shift.
• Hinged lid on the box, no loose top part that goes missing while the store is rearranged.
• 15 mm of internal height over a 41 x 37 mm footprint, flat assemblies lie level and multi-layer leftovers still fit.
• 25 boxes per pack, enough to restock a whole drawer in one go.

Technical data

Application

In the component store size N3 takes counted quantities that are too bulky for the smaller boxes, connectors, relays or sections cut from a tray. In repair it serves as a rest for desoldered parts until they are tested, in prototyping as a small kit for one single build. The blue colour code separates stocks that would otherwise depend on a label alone. Inside the EPA the dissipative plastic stays part of the protection chain, and while parts travel between workstations the closed lid keeps the contents in place.

Note on the range

The N3 hinged box is stocked in several colour combinations. This article is the version with a blue base and a blue lid.
