New Technical Products ESD Contact Statshield(R) Transparent Metal Out ESD Shielding Bags Features: Charleswater ESD Bags meet EN 61340 5-1 requirements: 1. "Low charging packaging exhibiting properties which minimise any charge generation" [paragraph 3.18.1]. 2. "Electrostatic discharge shielding barrier or enclosure that limits the passage of current and attenuates the energy resulting from an electrostatic discharge such that the maximum energy from 1 000 V human body model discharge is less than or equal to 50 nJ" [paragraph 3.18.2.]. 3. Identified with ESD packaging symbol, manufacturer, and batch identification number [paragraph 4.1.2]. Aluminum metal outer layer of laminated film. Metal out required by many end users. Meets requirements of MIL-PRF-81705D, Type III 40% light transmission. Allows for easy identification of bag contents. Integral antistatic, low tribocharging properties. Bag contents will not electrostatically charge during movement. Integral static dissipative properties. Not topically treated, not humidity dependent, won Manufactured on specially designed soft fold converting machines. Prevents scratches and creases maintaining the integrity of Faraday Cage shielding protection. Large 9.5mm wide seals - high performance interior sealing layer. Greater sealing surface provides greater seal strength compared to comparable products with 3.2mm wide seals; higher quality, more durable. Marked in accordance with IEC 61340-5-1, paragraph 4.1.2. ESD packaging symbol communicates that contents are susceptible to damage from an ESD event if not properly handled. Batch coded. Quality control traceability. Polycarbonate compatible containing no amines or N- octanoic acid. Non-corrosive, will not contaminate parts. Testable to industry standards. Meets or exceeds one or more of the following standards: electrical and physical requirements of IEC 61340-5-1, ANSI/ESD S20.20, Mil-PRF81705D, EIA 541, EIA-625, MIL-HDBK-263, MILSTD-1686, and EIA-583. Optional antistatic zipper. Convenient recloseable seal; reusable. http://www.charleswater.co.uk/catalog/product.asp?prod_ID=80 (1 of 3) [08/10/2003 11:50:53] Charleswater P/N Description 90300 75mm x 125mm, Open Bag 90302 100mm x 150mm, Open Bag 90304 100mm x 760mm, Open Bag 90306 125mm x 200mm, Open Bag 90308 150mm x 255mm, Open Bag 90310 150mm x 760mm, Open Bag 90312 200mm x 255mm, Open Bag 90314 200mm x 305mm, Open Bag 90316 255mm x 305mm, Open Bag 90318 255mm x 355mm, Open Bag 90320 255mm x 610mm, Open Bag 90322 280mm x 380mm, Open Bag 90324 305mm x 405mm, Open Bag 90326 305mm x 455mm, Open Bag 90328 380mm x 455mm, Open Bag 90330 455mm x 455mm, Open Bag 90332 455mm x 610mm, Open Bag 90400 75mm x 125mm, Resealable Bag 90402 100mm x 150mm, Resealable Bag 90404 100mm x 760mm, Resealable Bag 90406 125mm x 200mm, Resealable Bag 90408 150mm x 255mm, Resealable Bag 90410 150mm x 760mm, Resealable Bag 90412 200mm x 255mm, Resealable Bag 90414 200mm x 305mm, Resealable Bag 90416 255mm x 305mm, Resealable Bag 90418 255mm x 355mm, Resealable Bag 90420 255mm x 610mm, Resealable Bag 90422 280mm x 380mm, Resealable Bag 90424 305mm x 405mm, Resealable Bag 90426 305mm x 455mm, Resealable Bag Designed to meet the requirements of IEC 61340-5-1 Sold 100 bags per package in an ESD barrier bag. http://www.charleswater.co.uk/catalog/product.asp?prod_ID=80 (2 of 3) [08/10/2003 11:50:53] Charleswater 90428 380mm x 455mm, Resealable Bag 90430 455mm x 455mm, Resealable Bag 90432 455mm x 610mm, Resealable Bag Drawings/Technical Bulletins: 90300.E 90400.E Home | Distributors | Catalogue | New Products | Technical | ESD | Contact Copyright (c) 2003 Desco Industries, Inc.

Statshield(R) bags are packaged 100 per package in an oversized shielding bag rather than a cardboard box. Therefore, our bags are not exposed to water vapors that will degrade the metallized shielding layer. Our bags have an additional layer of barrier protection because of our packaging. Charleswater Europe ESD Bags Are Generally Reusable The user must determine the suitability of ESD bags for particular applications and after one year from purchase date. All ESD Shielding Bags that are ripped, torn, or scratched should be discarded. The Bag's protection is lost if there is an electrical path from the charge on the outside of the Bag to the inside layer and ESDS parts within. Scratching may compromise the Faraday Cage shielding protection of shielding bags so they will not perform their function of protecting stored or transported ESD susceptible devices from electrostatic charges and discharges. From ANSI/ESD S20.20 paragraph 6.2.4.2. Packaging Guidance: "The objective of ESD protective packaging is to prevent a direct electrostatic discharge to the ESDS item contained within and allow for dissipation of charge from the exterior surface. In addition, the packaging should minimize charging of the ESDS item in response to an external electrostatic field and triboelectrification. They may also lose static shielding properties by crumpling, puncturing and folding." Some end users reuse a Statshield(R) Transparent Metal In ESD Shielding Bag up to six times and then discard. Ideally, the user should test, auditing some percentage of the re-used ESD Bags using test procedures outlined in ANSI EOS/ESD-DS11.11 1993 Surface Resistivity Standard, ESD-DS11.12 - 1996 Volume Resistance Measurements of Static Dissipative Planar Materials, and Shielding Materials EOS/ESD DS11.31 -1994. Ideally, ESD bags should be stored in a dry, well ventilated room with a reasonably consistent temperature of 68F (20C) and be protected from exposure to direct sunlight. Ideally, ESD bags should not be stored in ultraviolet sunlight, moisture, or heat. The user shall determine the suitability of the product for their intended use. Charleswater Europe's only obligation shall be to replace such quantity of the product proved to be defective. See full Limited Warranty information at www.charleswater.co.uk/warranty.htm.
