MC-68PLCC/AS 68 Lead PLCC Antistatic Plastic IC Shipping Tubes

Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-68PLCC/AS – Premium ESD Protection

Detailed Product Description

The Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-68PLCC/AS is designed to provide superior protection for 68 lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) devices during handling, shipping, and storage. Manufactured from surface-treated PVC, this shipping tube offers reliable electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The treatment ensures that sensitive components remain shielded from harmful static buildup, which can lead to component failure.

Initially developed for use in the semiconductor and IC manufacturing industries, the MC-68PLCC/AS antistatic shipping tube has since been adopted across industries, including aerospace, OEM manufacturing, and solar technology. The secure fit and End Stop Plugs make it an ideal solution for transporting PLCC devices, ensuring minimal movement and maximum protection.

Key Features and Benefits

• ESD Protection: The tube’s antistatic properties prevent electrostatic buildup, safeguarding 68 lead PLCC ICs from potential damage.
• End Stop Plugs or Pins: Available to ensure devices remain securely in place during transport, providing reliable protection and stability for your components.
• Custom Fit for PLCC Devices: The tube’s dimensions are tailored for 68 lead PLCC ICs, ensuring a snug fit that prevents movement.

• Optional ESD Tube Fillers: For enhanced protection, ESD tube fillers can be used to further secure sensitive components within the tube. These fillers help prevent movement during transit, maintaining consistent electrostatic discharge protection and ensuring that your devices remain safe from potential damage. Ideal for high-value or delicate electronics, the fillers provide an additional layer of safeguarding, offering peace of mind throughout the shipping and handling process.

Practical Applications

The Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-68PLCC/AS is used across various industries, including:

• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Ensures safe transit and storage of 68 lead PLCC devices, providing protection from ESD.
• Component Distribution: Facilitates the secure transportation of ICs, minimizing damage and reducing returns.
• OEM Manufacturing: Ensures reliable transit of high-value components between assembly lines and manufacturing facilities.
• Aerospace and Solar Industries: Provides essential protection for delicate electronics in challenging environments.
• IC Reclamation: Used to safely store and transport reclaimed ICs from printed circuit boards (PCBs), allowing for reuse.

Advantages Over Other Packaging Solutions

The Antistatic Shipping Tube MC-68PLCC/AS provides superior protection compared to generic packaging solutions. Standard tubes do not offer the same level of ESD protection, increasing the risk of static buildup that can damage ICs. The surface-treated PVC material ensures longevity and reusability, making it a cost-effective choice.
