Conductive ESD Box with 6 mm HD Foam in Base, Internal 230 x 128 x 40 mm - Desco 241100

Populated boards, ICs and loose components need packaging between workstation, stores and customer that protects them mechanically and does not build up charge. This Desco box in black conductive polypropylene offers an internal size of 230 x 128 x 40 mm and a surface resistance of 1 x 10² to < 1 x 10⁵ ohms per IEC 61340-2-3. The base holds 6 mm of high-density HD foam that retains components by their leads. The lid has no foam.

Key benefits

• Conductive material at 1 x 10² to < 1 x 10⁵ ohms: the box does not build up charge and shields its contents from external discharges.
• 6 mm HD foam in the base: component leads are inserted and stay in place during transport.
• Lid attached by a two-piece pin hinge, and the snap closure keeps the box shut in transit.
• Moulded to a tolerance of ± 0.8 mm on the internal dimensions, so the box fits predictably in drawers and racks.
• ESD protective symbol moulded in: the box stays recognisable as ESD packaging in stores and at the customer.

Applications

For flat assemblies, modules and several components at once: transport and storage inside the EPA, between protected areas, in field service and when shipping to customers, as IEC 61340-5-1 requires for ESD packaging.

Standards

The boxes meet EN 61340-5-1 and the packaging standard IEC 61340-5-3, which requires conductive packaging to have a surface resistance below 1 x 10⁴ ohms. Testing is per IEC 61340-2-3.
