Title: ESD and anti-static
Post by: Admin on October 02, 2007, 11:59:22 AM
Im purchasing those little anti-static baggies that sensitive electronics typically comes in.

Ive noticed two types, ESD and anti-static. Is there a difference? Im guessing no, but the ESD is half the cost . . .

Also, anyone know where I can buy those yellow "CAUTION Electrostatic Sensitive Devices" stickers that closes this baggies?

probably no difference because ESD stands for electrostatic device

you can get stickers from Maverick Label( they have everything) http://www.mavericklabel.com/products/convert-category_browse&product=41&category=40.php



or you can get a lot of free samples from manufacturers who distribute the samples in anti-static pouches. (lol) ;D

thanks

I browsed around a bit more and found these ESD labels (http://www.mouser.com/search/Refine.aspx?Ne=254596+1447464&Ntt=*label*&Ntx=mode+matchall&Ns=P_SField&Mkw=label&N=1323038%20254596&Ntk=Mouser_Wildcards)

much cheaper . . .

How many do you need?

You could buy some sticker sheets for a normal printer and just print some out.
