Tools for Testing ESD Packaging and Parts
When monitoring static sensitive manufacturing environments, using reliable testing tools is essential. ACL Staticide® offers a pair of exceptional products designed to help ESD technicians quickly check ESD packaging and parts for surface resistance specifications in small areas where traditional megohmmeters won’t fit.
The ACL 306 handheld Two-Point Resistance Meter provides an all-in-one solution for obtaining resistance readings without the need for extra wires or an additional instrument. Portable and lightweight, it's perfect for testing ESD packaging with nooks, recesses, or parts on assembly lines too small for five-pound electrodes. The metal spring-loaded pogo pins can be used with or without conductive rubber boots, and the LED logarithmic scale allows for quick and easy readings.
For added convenience, the ACL 307 Checker Board offers quick and easy verification of the ACL 306 tester. Equipped with logarithmic landing spots for each decade on the tester’s scale, the board’s pads are spaced to snuggly fit the tester’s pogo-pins. Each board is serial numbered and calibrated for accuracy.
Economical and lightweight, these devices are ideal for assurance checks on ESD packaging, trays, DIP tubes, and assembly lines, making them effective for maintenance checks and on-the-fly quality control inspections. By regularly testing surfaces, professionals can maintain compliance, reduce ESD damage, and ultimately safeguard sensitive electronics.
When users incorporate the Two-Point Resistance Checker into routine inspections, they can be confident that surfaces remain within safe resistivity levels, preventing costly ESD damage. It’s an excellent choice for field technicians, production operators, and anyone in need of efficient ESD verification. By checking each tester to the 307 Checker Board, instrumentation stays in-house while only the Checker Board requires annual certification from an external metrology lab.
Both the ACL Staticide® the Two-Point Resistance Meter and Checker Board are indispensable tools for maintaining ESD-safe environments. By incorporating these devices into regular maintenance routines, businesses can enhance product quality, minimize downtime, and protect valuable assets from the dangers of ESD. The Two-Point Resistance Checker offers detailed, accurate measurements of resistance, while the Checker Board acts as a reliable standard set. Together, they form a powerful duo for any professional committed to ensuring optimal ESD protection.
