MC-300SOIC/SOJ Product Details

Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-300SOIC/SOJ

The Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-300SOIC/SOJ is a 20-inch clear-blue rigid PVC tube for correctly matched SOIC / SOJ packages. It supports organized handling, storage, and shipment while keeping component orientation and loading visible.

Evaluate MC-300SOIC/SOJ as a tube with its closures and fillers. The SOIC / SOJ family name does not establish body clearance or usable capacity. Confirm the component outline, loading orientation, and closure requirements for this exact part number before using it in a handling program. The listed MC-300SOICBEP end plug is an accessory to review for this profile.

MC-300SOIC/SOJ Specifications

Confirm Device Fit Before Ordering

SOIC and SOJ identify different lead forms. This catalog profile covers compatible applications in both groups, but each device must be checked separately for body support, formed-lead clearance, and loading direction.

• Exact package: Identify whether the device has gull-wing or J-shaped leads and use its complete drawing.
• Profile clearance: Check maximum body dimensions, total lead span, and clearance beneath the package edges where applicable.
• Handling: Verify orientation and travel through the channel and any automated feeder.
• Capacity: Reserve the space occupied by closures and any compatible filler.

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

Closure and Filler Options for MC-300SOIC/SOJ

The following accessories are listed for this profile. Match the end plug to the tube opening and check insertion depth, component clearance, and retention under the intended handling conditions.

Secure both ends and check that retention does not load the device body, leads, or contacts. For a partial load, size a compatible filler to the remaining usable space and check that the retained components can be removed without force.

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-300SOIC/SOJ. 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 closure surfaces before loading. Stop if a device catches or requires force; recheck the lead form and orientation. Protect surfaces from contamination and abrasion, and cushion loaded tubes against bending or crushing. Reuse depends on condition, cleanliness, retention, and 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-300SOJ/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.
