ESD Tube Filler MC-4030NTS
MC-4030NTS is a permanent antistatic LDPE IC tube stuffer measuring 0.400 in. wide × 0.030 in. thick × 19.00 in. long. Cut a suitable working length to occupy unused space in a partially loaded shipping tube and limit device travel during handling, storage, and shipment.

Dimensions are nominal; metric values are conversions. Review the dimensioned product image for tolerances and confirm the fit in the intended tube before production use.
Selecting and Using MC-4030NTS
This flexible solid-plastic strip is used where the loading arrangement calls for a thin filler. NTS material is permanent antistatic LDPE; select its thickness and width for the actual tube cavity and device contact area.
- Check the cross-section. Compare the filler width and thickness with the tube cavity and the loaded device geometry. Keep pressure away from exposed leads and other delicate features.
- Set the working length. Account for the loaded device quantity and both end closures. The supplied 19.00-inch strip is cut to suit the remaining usable space.
- Check the assembled package. Confirm that the filler limits travel and the closures seat normally without forcing or over-compressing the load.
A tube filler controls internal space. The matching end stop pins or end stop plugs retain the contents. Qualify the tube, filler, closures, and any outer protective packaging together for the device and shipping conditions.
Material and ESD Considerations
The NTS material data lists typical surface resistivity of 1 × 1010 to 9.9 × 1011 Ω/square and static decay below 2.00 seconds. These are typical material test values, not a finished-filler specification or a lot certification. See the material information in the product gallery and contact Malaster if your application has a defined electrical acceptance range.
Other Thicknesses in This Width
MC-4060NTS (0.060 in. thick). These share the 0.400-inch nominal width and NTS material family; verify the complete fit when changing thickness.
Send the tube part number, device drawing or dimensions, device quantity per tube, required working length, and order quantity. Malaster can review a standard filler or a custom width, thickness, or cut length.
