MC-1410C Hinged Conductive ESD Box, 0.50 × 2.50 × 2.50 inches

ESD IC Component Box MC-1410C

ESD IC Component Box MC-1410C is a black molded conductive polypropylene box with a hinged lid for packaging ESD-sensitive electronic components. Its catalog dimensions are 0.50 × 2.50 × 2.50 inches. Specify the foam or device insert separately to suit the component and its handling, storage and transport conditions.

The 2.50 × 2.50-inch listed footprint makes this a compact square option to evaluate for individual components or small groups. Allow space for separation, approved support areas and removal access.

Dimensions, component fit and closure

Catalog dimensions identify the box size. Confirm the usable internal dimensions and component fit against the part drawing or a sample, including corners, lid features, lead clearance and the space occupied by inserts. Do not calculate usable component height by subtracting foam thickness from the listed box height alone.

Component retention and packaging performance

Support the component at approved contact areas and keep leads, terminals, connectors and sensitive surfaces clear where required. Check that the closed lid controls movement without loading the component excessively. Review loading and removal access as well as the packed position.

For defined cavities or rigid positioning, explore semiconductor device inserts or request a component-specific foam design. Confirm insert-to-box fit and any lid retention together. Conductive material values alone do not establish discharge shielding, cushioning performance or compliance of the finished package. Qualify the complete configuration for the intended application and ESD control requirements.

Before reuse, inspect the box, hinge, closure and inserts for damage, contamination and changes in fit. Confirm any cleaning procedure with Malaster for the selected material and your process.

C Box material reference properties

Source: Malaster customer data sheet MDS-C-001, Rev A, effective September 10, 2026. These values describe the box material. They are reference values, not certification of an individual shipment or a guarantee of finished-package performance.

Request the current C Box data sheet and packaging assistance if your purchase specification needs supporting documentation or application review.

1410-footprint foam options

Compare these cushions with a listed footprint of 2.50 × 2.50 inches. Confirm the cut size and the complete base, component and lid arrangement for MC-1410C before ordering.

CFS and CFF thickness is 0.22 inch nominal. Skived thickness varies; request an agreed thickness range when compression or clearance is critical. AFD identifies soft pink antistatic foam and AFDF identifies firm pink antistatic foam.

The box and foam have separate electrical and mechanical properties. Select conductive contact only where permitted by the component requirements. Pink antistatic foam should not be substituted for conductive foam without reviewing the required function. Browse ESD box foam cushions or request a custom foam insert.

Compare other box sizes

Browse the ESD protective box range to compare footprints and listed heights. Choose each box and insert arrangement from the actual component dimensions; different box sizes are not interchangeable.

Standard and custom device inserts for MC-1410C

Build the retention arrangement around your device. Start with an existing conductive device insert, or ask Malaster to review a custom insert for MC-1410C.

Existing conductive device inserts

Browse the standard insert library by package style and box series. Match the device dimensions, cavity layout and box fit, then review any foam or lid retention needed for the complete package.

Browse Standard Device Inserts

Custom cavities, support and handling access

Request a custom thermoformed device insert, a precision foam cavity design, or a base-and-lid insert arrangement where appropriate. Share the device drawing, number of devices per box, permitted contact areas, lead clearance and loading or removal requirements.

Discuss a custom device insert or request a custom foam insert.

Standard insert availability and fit depend on the selected box and device. Malaster can help review the complete arrangement before you select the parts.

Custom printing for MC-1410C

Make the box part of your identification and handling process. Ask about full-color printing for your logo, product identification, handling information or application-specific graphics.

• Brand and identify: company logos, product names and part numbers.
• Support handling: ESD caution messages, orientation information and handling instructions.
• Discuss traceability: barcodes, QR codes or serial-number requirements for your application.

Include MC-1410C, the requested print location, estimated quantity and your artwork or a reference image. Malaster will review the printable area, marking content and application requirements with you.

Request Custom Box Printing

You can start the conversation with a logo, a sketch or an example of your current packaging.
