Semiconductor Component Handling

Antistatic IC Shipping Tubes

Malaster supplies established antistatic tube profiles for DIP, SOIC/SOJ, SOP/TSOP/TSSOP, PLCC/LCC, QFN and TO/socket-carrier packages. The package-family name is only the starting point: actual body dimensions, lead geometry and loading orientation determine fit.


Selection and Application Guidance

A Tube Profile Is Only One Part of the Packaging System

Verify the cavityUse the product drawing and actual device dimensions to evaluate body and lead clearance. A package name alone does not establish compatibility.
Control unused lengthPins, plugs and filler can close the tube and manage movement when the tube is not loaded to its full usable capacity.
Protect the shipmentFor shipping, tube bundles should be restrained inside an appropriate outer package with the required ESD and cushioning controls.
Established profiles, low-quantity supply and custom lengthsMalaster maintains a broad catalog of semiconductor shipping-tube profiles and supports low-quantity requirements as well as production-volume supply. Existing profiles can also be cut to application-specific lengths.
