9.5 in. Clear-Blue Antistatic Shipping Tube | MC-220SSOP95

MC-220SSOP95 Product Details

Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-220SSOP95

The Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-220SSOP95 is a 9.5-inch clear-blue rigid PVC tube for correctly matched SSOP packages. It supports organized handling, storage, and shipment while keeping component orientation and loading visible.

This 9.5-inch format provides a shorter overall tube length for a matched SSOP application. End closures still occupy usable space, so calculate capacity from the retained configuration. Specify MC-220SSOP95 when ordering this version, and verify the profile before substituting another length.

MC-220SSOP95 Specifications

Confirm Device Fit Before Ordering

Small-outline package names cover several body widths, heights, and lead configurations. Compare the actual component drawing with this profile, particularly when changing between SOP, SSOP, TSOP, or TSSOP variants.

• Width and span: Check body width separately from the maximum formed-lead span.
• Height and support: Review package thickness, support locations, and clearance around delicate leads.
• Feed direction: Confirm the loading orientation and the requirements of any tube-fed handler.
• Usable capacity: Include closure intrusion and filler space in the loading plan.

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

Closure and Filler Options for MC-220SSOP95

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 9.5-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-220SSOP95. 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 tube before loading and check that fine leads clear the channel and closure arrangement. Do not force a device through a tight or obstructed section. Keep surfaces clean and protect loaded tubes from bending or crushing. Reuse depends on damage, retention, cleanliness, and continued ESD-process suitability.

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-220EIAJ/SSOP as another catalog length option for this package family. Confirm each drawing and closure arrangement separately before using it as a substitute.
