12.40 in. Clear-Blue Antistatic Shipping Tube | MC-10QFN/AS

MC-10QFN/AS Product Details

Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-10QFN/AS

The Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-10QFN/AS is a 12.40-inch clear-blue rigid PVC tube for correctly matched 10 mm QFN devices. It supports organized handling, storage, and shipment while keeping component orientation and loading visible.

The 12.40-inch format differs from the 15-inch QFN tubes also listed in this family. The 10 mm package designation does not specify internal cavity clearance. Review the complete device outline, thickness, loading orientation, and retained capacity for this exact profile.

MC-10QFN/AS Specifications

Confirm Device Fit Before Ordering

For QFN and related leadless devices, compare the maximum body outline and height with the tube drawing. A nominal package size is a starting point for profile selection, not the internal cavity dimension.

• Body clearance: Check body width, length, thickness, and their tolerances against the complete channel profile.
• Contact surfaces: Review support at the package edges and clearance around underside terminations or an exposed pad, where present.
• Orientation: Confirm that devices travel through the tube in the required orientation without forcing or unwanted rotation.
• Usable capacity: Subtract closure intrusion and filler space before determining the number of devices per tube.

Use the IC shipping tube selection guide to review the component, tube profile, closures, and handling process together.

Closure and Filler Options for MC-10QFN/AS

Confirm the closure arrangement with Malaster before ordering. Provide the exact tube part number, device drawing, and loading method so the end-opening geometry and retention requirements can be checked together.

For this 12.40-inch tube, reserve space for the closures before determining the retained device count. Size any compatible filler to the remaining usable space; a longer supplied filler is not a ready-fit length. Check that retention does not force the device or its contacts.

Explore the IC tube accessory range for plugs, pins, and fillers, with compatibility checked for the selected profile.

Antistatic Performance and Qualification

The CYASTAT 609 surface treatment supports static control within an ESD-controlled process. Malaster’s Clear Antistatic IC Tubes material data sheet, MDS-AS-001 Rev A, reports recent production measurements of 2 × 10⁸ to 9 × 10⁹ Ω/square. These are results for tested profiles and lots, not a universal acceptance range for MC-10QFN/AS. Confirm the applicable profile-specific resistance requirement for your application.

Protect tube surfaces from contamination and abrasion. Antistatic treatment is not a substitute for an ESD-controlled process; review the complete packaging configuration under the conditions in which it will be used.

Loading, Shipping, and Reuse

Inspect the channel and closures before loading. Keep termination areas and tube surfaces clean, and protect the tube from abrasion. Control free movement in partial loads and cushion the loaded tubes against bending or crushing. Reuse depends on condition, cleanliness, retention, and continued suitability for the ESD-control process.

Review Malaster’s five checks for shipping electronic components when selecting retention, cushioning, and outer packaging for loaded tubes.

Material and Application Documentation

Request MDS-AS-001 Rev A for the clear antistatic tube family. Malaster maintains supporting RoHS, EU REACH SVHC, and applicable packaging-regulation documentation. Applicability depends on the declared product family, jurisdiction, and declaration date; request current documents for your requirement.

Compare Another Tube Option

Review MC-9QFN/AS when comparing another profile in this family. Package designation, length, support geometry, and closure requirements should be checked separately; this comparison does not establish interchangeability.
