ESD and Antistatic Products

ESD Tray

The ESD Tray is a shallow reusable carrier with molded component pockets for organized handling of electrostatic-sensitive parts inside an ESD protected area.

Conductive molded body keeps separated components at a common electrical potential.
Defined pockets organize small assemblies without loose insulating separators.
Reinforced flange enables repeatable stacking through production and storage routes.

Product Introduction

This tray is thermoformed from charcoal-black conductive polymer into a rigid multi-pocket carrier. Rounded pocket corners reduce snagging and provide wiping access, while the continuous perimeter flange supports handling and stacking. Registration details help trays remain aligned without allowing the load above to bear directly on parts. Unlike an ordinary cafeteria tray or open tote, the defined cavity layout separates components and makes quantity checks straightforward.

Key Features

Conductive polymer construction controls charge throughout the tray body.

Repeated molded cavities separate parts and reduce contact during movement.

Rounded cavity transitions support cleaning and easy part removal.

Reinforced perimeter flange resists handling distortion.

Stack registration preserves clearance above loaded pockets.

Compact shallow format suits benches, carts and flow racks.

Pocket count and geometry can follow the actual component envelope.

Customer Product Concerns

Small sensitive parts must remain separated, countable and protected from charging while passing repeatedly between storage and production.

Loose parts collide or become mixed in an open container.Individual molded pockets maintain separation and visible quantities.

An insulating tray can charge during loading and transport.Conductive polymer provides an electrical path through the complete carrier.

Stacked trays press on the components below.The registered perimeter flange maintains designed vertical clearance.

Deep sharp cavities are difficult to clean and unload.Rounded pocket walls support wiping and fingertip access.

Generic cavity sizes allow parts to move excessively.Pocket length, width, depth and spacing can be matched to the component family.

Typical Applications

IC, sensor and connector kitting.PCB subassembly transfer between controlled processes.Small medical-electronics component handling.Precision hardware counting and line-side presentation.Automated or manual work-cell replenishment.Returnable packaging within an ESD protected area.
