Description:

ESD - PACKAGING

Clause:

Devices purchased on this contract are susceptible to damage or degradation from application of electrostatic discharges and shall be packaged in the following manner: Printed circuit board assemblies shall be labeled with an ESD caution label and shall be wrapped or cushioned in a manner to prevent pins from penetrating the static shielding bag. Dual inline packaged (DIP) devices packaged in rails shall be restrained from sliding back and forth (1 inch maximum travel). DIP devices contained in anti-static, rails need to be placed in a static shielding bag. DIP devices not contained in rails shall have the leads shorted in conductive non-corrosive foam or other conductive material and placed inside a static shielding bag. Packaging shall be a maximum of 50 pieces per bag or rail. Axial lead devices such as resistors, diodes, etc., may be shipped without having their leads shorted. These devices shall then be packed in a static shielding bag. Shop Replaceable Assembly (SRA), Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU), Weapons Replaceable Assembly (WRA), Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) shall be labeled with an ESD caution label and connectors capped with conductive caps or protected by equivalent ESD protection. Static-shielding bags shall meet the requirements of one of the following: • ANSI/ESD-STM11.31 -- less than 50 nanoJoules • EIA-541 Probe Electrostatic Shielding Property Test – Test voltage of 1000 volts input will have
