Semitron ESd 225
![]()
Semitron ESd 225 is designed for use where electrical discharge in operation is a problem. It is commonly used for sensitive electronic components including: integrated circuits, hard disk drives and circuit boards. It is also an excellent choice for material handling applications, and components in high speed electronic printing and reproducing equipment.
Semitron ESd 225 is dissipative and electrically stable. Static electricity is dissipated through this product as readily as it is dissipated along the surface. Semitron ESd 225 is ideal for fixturing used in the manufacturing of hard disk drives or for handling in-process silicon wafers. It is tan in color.
