Anti-static Bag Is Using For Electrostatic Sensitive Device

Jul 28, 2023 Leave a message

When the electrostatic sensitive device is transferred from the electrostatic protection area, is it possible to be destroyed by static?

We found a situation that when the shielding product is transferred from the electrostatic protection area, it may be damaged by static, is this true? In addition, I also want to know, in order to protect the product, do the pins/leads need to be short-circuited when storing the product in an anti-static bag?

Regarding your question about possible ESD damage when removing static-sensitive products from the anti-static shielding bag, the answer is yes. Triboelectricity can charge objects (such as those in shielding bags) and can cause ESD problems during removal. Therefore, when you purchase shielding bags, you must specify the anti-static performance required. Antistatic means that the material inhibits the generation of triboelectric charges. All anti-static shielding bags on the market have materials with this property built into the film.

About shorting all pins and leads on electronic devices during storage or transport. Here's the answer: Depending on the sensitivity of your device (consult the manufacturer), you may need to short all inputs or clamp the inputs, which may provide additional ESD protection between the two inputs.
