Conductive PCB Rack with Carrying Handles, 20 Slots, 175 x 500 mm - Desco 237215

Moving populated assemblies between line, test bench and storage calls for a carrier that drains charge and keeps boards apart. The Desco 237215 holds 20 PCBs in angled lead-in slots. Its carbon-filled polypropylene reaches a surface resistance below 1 x 10⁶ ohms and protects CMOS devices in storage and transit.

Key benefits

• Fast loading: 20 slots of 3 x 8 mm with lead-in angle on an 18.75 mm pitch.
• Charge drain: surface and volume resistance each below 1 x 10⁶ ohms per ASTM D-257.
• Portable: open carrying handles at both ends, weight only 0.69 kg.
• Heat resistant: recommended maximum operating temperature 85 °C.
• Recyclable: single-material polypropylene compound.

Applications

Buffering and carrying populated PCBs in SMT and through-hole production, in test and in rework. The long, narrow rack fits shelves and transport carts inside the EPA.

Standards

EN 61340-5-1 requires tools and aids used in the EPA to neither generate nor hold charge and to sit at EPA ground potential. Placed on a grounded surface, this conductive rack meets that requirement.
