ESD Strapping Band Black, 12 mm Band Width, Dissipative - A1-ESD EP0709012

The end of the packing line decides whether ESD protection survives all the way to the recipient. An insulating strapping band can charge up while being unwound and tensioned, and then sits directly against the package. This band is listed as a dissipative version and is meant to secure ESD packaging without introducing a fresh charge source. At 12 mm it is the wide variant of the range.

Benefits

• 12 mm band width, the wide version of the range, tension is spread over a larger contact area and cuts less into edges.
• Dissipative, antistatic grade, the band belongs to the ESD packaging chain instead of entering it as foreign material.
• Black colour, ESD packaging material stays distinguishable from ordinary band at goods issue.
• Sold from one roll, so the packing bench can reorder exactly what it consumes.
• Classified under eCl@ss 23120602, cleanly filed for procurement and catalogue matching.

Application

The band secures lids on ESD containers, lashes stacked containers on a pallet and holds cartons of populated assemblies together for dispatch. That step usually sits at goods issue, outside the EPA, where handling is no longer covered by grounding and flooring. This is exactly where a dissipative band pays off, because the last material applied to the package does not break the protection chain. It is processed with the strapping tools common in logistics for a 12 mm band width.

Note on the range

The strapping band is stocked in several band widths. This article is the 12 mm version.
