High Charge
The slow discharge path of a static-safe workstation can protect your circuit
card from discharging conductors such as metal or your body. Unfortunately, a
workstation can’t protect against common, highly charged, non-conducting items.
Candy wrappers, folders, paper, foam cups, cigarette packs, plastic and masking tape,
plastics, vinyl, heat guns with blowers and common packing material can have a high
static charge. Keep them away from the work site.
Whichever way you go, Fnish the job with a fast pack. NSN 8115-01-019-4084
brings you an ESD fast pack that measures 12 x 18 x 3

There’s much more to know about
packaging, and you can get the word
from LOGSAP 746-1,
Packaging—

it’s also a
good idea
to
check with your
command for
the name of an
ESD POC.
if your
command
doesn’t
have one, your
electronic
repair depot
will.
An ESD POC can
advise you on the
best methods and
equipment
to
protect
your circuit cards.
if you’re going to be
packaging ESD sensitive
(ESDS) circuit cards, here
are a couple of ways to
protect
them…
yeaaah.
that’s
the
ticket!
Use flexible cushion pouches
First, wrap the cards
in
antistatic bubble wrap.
brings a 500-ft roll.
Then make a bag from
static-shielding
barrier material,
Heat seal the bag with a
handheld
sealer,
You’ll need to order
it on a DD Form 1348-6
from RIC GSA and put
“NSN not on amdf”
in the
REMARKS block.
if the piece
of electronic
equipment is small
enough, put it
into one of these
ESD-free flexible
cushion pouches…
