Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-2SOCKET/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.

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.
