If you work with soldering irons or perform various cleaning tasks, you will likely be using deionized water or a cleaning agent. Where do you store those liquids? MENDA carries a variety of dispensing bottles that are dissipative and therefore safe for use in the EPA.
When an operator holds a regular brush and they wipe it on a product or assembly, tribocharging occurs. You can replace these with MENDA dissipative or conductive brushes; that will have a path to ground when held by the operator.
A nylon probe, due to its hygroscopic nature, is suitable for use around ESD sensitive components when held with a bare hand for a few minutes. Stainless steel probes are conductive and will ground when held or placed on an ESD protected work surface.
Cutters used in the manufacture, repair and rework of electronics need to be groundable. Tronex Cutters feature static dissipative grips on the handles. Be sure to review the capabilities of each cutter for your processes.
Pliers used in the manufacture, repair and rework of electronics need to be groundable. Tronex Pliers feature static dissipative grips on the handles.
Often many tools are required at an ESD workbench or for field service technicians. The 35870* tool box is ideal for carrying these as it is permanently embedded with static dissipative properties and therefore will not bring high charges into the EPA.
Much like the tool box, the 35873* allows you to safely store your tools and other workbench items without worrying about bringing high charges on to your workbench.
*Tools not included.
The MENDA Blow Vacuums meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 and is designed to be used in an ESD protected area. The housing and accessories are both dissipative so electrostatic charges will be removed when properly grounded through ground wire plugged into a three-wire AC electrical outlet.
The 35893 is a replacement for static generating foam and plastic cups or bottles on the workstation. It is low-charging and conductive so charges are removed to ground when held by a grounded operator or placed on a grounded surface.
