ESD

Protecting PCBs: ESD-Safe Nylon Assembly Trays Electrostatic discharge (ESD) ruins boards quietly—one mishandled carrier or plastic bin can zap devices below human perception. This guide shows how SLS-printed nylon (PA12) assembly trays, built with ESD-safe surfaces, improve PCB flow from SMT through hand-assembly and test while reducing scrap, rework, and handling time. We’ll cover materials, surface-resistance targets, design patterns that actually help technicians, and how to verify performance inside your ESD control program. (The ANSI Blog, IEC Webstore) ...
