6-inch Wafer Jar and Lid, 1.5-inch Deep | MC-605602JL

Custom Wafer Packaging Configurations

Malaster can adapt standard wafer jars with custom foam profiles, liners, cushions and separators. For MC-605602JL, the starting point is the actual part envelope and usable jar cavity, followed by the support, surface-contact and handling requirements.

Malaster has configured 6-inch jars for square solar wafers and other jar formats for mounted wafer frames, dicing blades and processing tools. These applications use different support arrangements. A frame must be reviewed as a complete mounted assembly; a blade holder may locate through the center hole while keeping the cutting edge clear. The selected jar must accommodate the full part and insert geometry.

For square wafers, check the corners. A square’s diagonal is longer than its side. The complete outline must fit with the foam and loading clearance, so the 6-inch jar designation does not establish a maximum square-wafer side length.

See the Wafer Jar Packaging Configuration guide for the exploded assembly, layer arrangements and Malaster’s square-wafer, mounted-frame and blade-holder examples.

Choose a Complete WafPak Product System

WafPak Product Systems combine the jar and lid with the specified foam liner, cushion discs and wafer separators in a matched wafer packaging assembly. Both 6-inch systems below use MC-605602JL and provide a more complete starting point for wafer storage, handling and shipping.

These are the supplied component quantities, not a wafer-capacity rating or a prescribed layer sequence. Select the arrangement for the wafer thickness, contact requirements and intended load. Review any required shielding bag, outer cushioning and shipping carton with the configured jar.

Lined Jars and Individual Components

Choose MC-605602JLL for this jar and lid with the open-cell liner, or MC-605602JLF for the closed-cell liner. Each lined-jar option contains one jar-and-lid set and one liner; cushion discs and wafer separators are purchased separately.

For an existing configuration or individual replenishment, select the open-cell liner, closed-cell liner, soft foam discs, firm foam discs and MC-6TD round Tyvek wafer separators as required. Keep the selected part numbers and quantities with the packing instructions.

Wafer Separators and Surface Contact

Wafer separators, also called interleaves, separate adjacent surfaces. In the conventional Tyvek-separated arrangement shown in the configuration guide, a separator goes between each pair of wafers and between each end wafer and its foam cushion. Three wafers between two cushions therefore use four separators; intermediate foam or another specified arrangement changes that count.

The separator itself contacts the wafer. Select its material and outline for the permitted surfaces, and include every separator’s thickness in the stack calculation. If face contact is prohibited, request a support review before choosing a stacked arrangement.

Browse Tyvek wafer separators for standard options, or request custom shapes and BLAC black polyethylene interleaves. Malaster can review separator material, electrical requirements and handling together; Tyvek and BLAC should not be substituted solely because their outlines match.

Material and ESD Considerations

The polypropylene jar body and lid have no assigned ESD rating. The selected foam, separators and any surrounding packaging provide their specified electrical functions. An antistatic foam rating does not establish a rating for the jar or the complete package.

Define required electrical performance, cleanliness and allowed surface contact for the supplied configuration. Malaster can provide the applicable material information, including the Horizontal Wafer Jar Material data sheet (MDS-WJ-001), foam data sheets and Wafer Packaging Solutions Guide (MDS-WPG-001).
