ESD shielding and moisture barrier bag PET/MET/PE, 127 x 157 mm

Moisture-sensitive devices need two barriers: one against electrostatic fields and one against water vapour. This bag in 127 x 157 mm combines both in a PET/MET/PE laminate with a thickness of 0.09 mm. It is sized for individual ICs, sensors and small modules. The compact format keeps the air volume inside the bag small, which helps with vacuum packing and with desiccant.

Benefits

• Faraday shield: The metal layer keeps discharge energy inside the bag below 10 nJ.
• Dissipative inside and out: Surface resistance below 10E11 Ohm on both sides.
• Moisture protection: The film has a defined water vapour transmission rate and can be vacuum packed.
• Sealed shut: The bag is heat-sealed, so any opening is visible at once.
• Clearly marked: Printed ESD warning symbol, compliant with EN 61340-5-1 and RoHS.

Applications

The bag is used to store and ship individual ICs, sensors and small modules outside the EPA. It is usually filled together with desiccant and a humidity indicator card, then vacuum packed and heat-sealed. The range is available in other formats as well.
