Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-17SOCKET/AS – Socket Carrier

Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-17SOCKET/AS is a clear-blue RPVC tube designed for compatible socket carriers and transistor-outline (TO) devices. Its surface-treated antistatic material helps reduce static-charge buildup during normal handling, storage, and shipment while allowing packaged components to remain visible.

The internal profile is intended for properly matched socket carriers and TO devices. Confirm component body dimensions, lead configuration, carrier dimensions, and overall profile against the drawing in the product gallery before ordering.

Product Specifications

Why Use This Tube?

• Designed for compatible socket carriers: A properly matched tube profile helps keep carriers and compatible devices aligned during handling and shipment.
• Antistatic material: Surface-treated RPVC is intended to help reduce charge buildup associated with normal handling and transportation.
• Clear component visibility: Transparent blue material allows tube contents to be visually checked without opening the package.
• Reusable packaging format: Tubes may be reused when they remain clean, undamaged, and suitable for the application’s ESD-control requirements.

Compatible Closures and Fillers

Close both ends with compatible tube plugs to help retain carriers and devices during handling and transit. When the tube is only partially loaded, use compatible ESD tube fillers to help limit movement within the tube.

Proper fit is essential. Review the profile drawing and dimensional information in the product gallery before ordering. If you need help confirming fit or selecting compatible closures and fillers, contact Malaster for packaging assistance.
