ESD shelf boxes (Regalkästen) provide controlled static dissipative storage with surface resistance values in the range of 10⁵ to 10⁹ Ω, meeting the requirements of IEC 61340-5-1 for electrostatic protected areas (EPAs). Constructed from conductive or dissipative polypropylene, these containers prevent charge build-up on stored PCBs, sensors, and sensitive components - eliminating latent ESD damage that standard plastic bins would cause. Stacking geometries follow DIN 55500 and Euro-format grid dimensions (600 x 400 mm base multiples) for direct integration into standard racking systems and bin-lane conveyors.
As a specialist distributor for ESD storage and material-flow solutions, esd.equipment offers 16 verified ESD shelf box variants compliant with IEC 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-5-2, covering sizes from small component bins through to large assembly containers. All products ship from EU stock and carry traceable material certifications confirming ESD performance across the rated service life.
