FIFO SMD spool rack, conductive, spools up to 180 mm, inner size 182 x 169 x 190 mm - Warmbier 5200.03.H.S

SMD reels should be drawn from stock on a first in, first out basis without building up charge while handled. This spool rack in permanently volume conductive polystyrene takes reels up to 180 mm diameter and keeps the typical point to point resistance at 10^4 - 10^5 ohm.

Benefits

• Permanent, carbon loaded conductive polystyrene, conductivity does not fade and does not depend on humidity
• Typical point to point resistance of 10^4 - 10^5 ohm
• Inner size 182 x 169 x 190 mm for reels up to 180 mm diameter
• FIFO layout, the reel stored first is the reel taken first
• Compact single rack with a small footprint at the setup station

Application

Storage and staging of SMD tape reels inside the EPA, at the setup station and at the placement machine. The volume conductive grade belongs to the ESD concept of the workplace, with the rack at the same potential as bench mat and floor, so charge from unwinding the tape does not stay on the reel. FIFO withdrawal keeps batch order, which matters for moisture sensitive devices with a limited floor life. As the conductivity sits in the material itself rather than in a coating, it survives cleaning and mechanical wear.
