Description:

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Packaging

Clause:

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Packaging - Devices purchased on this contract are susceptible to damage or degradation from application of electrostatic discharges and shall be packaged in the following manner:a) 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.Connectors are to be capped with conductive caps or protected by equivalent ESD protection.b) 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.c) Axial lead devices such as resistors, diodes, etc., may be shipped without having their leads shorted. These devices shall be packed in a static shielding bag.d) Except as noted above, electronic devices shall be packaged in static-shielding bags labeled with an ESD caution label.Static-shielding bags shall meet the requirements of one of the following:ANSI/ESD-STM11.31 -- less than 50 Nano JoulesEIA-541 Probe Electrostatic Shielding Property Test – Test voltage of 1000 volts input will have <30 volts peak sensed by the probeNOTE: MIL-PRF-81705, Type I or III films are acceptable static shielding materials.Pink antistatic dissipative materials (e.g., MIL-PRF-81705, Type II) shall not be used as packaging material in intimate contact with ESDS devices.Non-conductive or static generating wrapping or cushioning material is unacceptable.All primary and intermediate packages as well as all shipping containers shall be clearly labeled with an ESD caution label. Electrostatic sensitive devices not shipped in accordance with this condition shall be considered nonconforming goods and subject to all applicable remedies as set forth elsewhere in this contract.The purchase order/contract requires the Seller to maintain a documented Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection program. Unless ESD control requirements are specified elsewhere in this subcontract, Seller shall maintain a documented ESD protection program which meets the control program element requirements 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, and 5.9 of MIL-STD-1686C, including documented employee training.Q452 – 02/20/17 EDD Prohibited Materials – The use of any materials listed herein is expressly prohibited. Any exception to these prohibitions must be approved in advance by buyer in writing. The seller shall ensure that all flow-down clauses are included in each lower tier subcontract with Seller’s suppliers.Pure, unalloyed tin or alloys containing greater than 97% by weight tin in the construction and surface finish of hardware.Cadmium or zinc in the construction and surface of space hardware [cadmium alloys or zinc alloys (e.g. brass)].Pure, unalloyed cadmium or alloys containing 5 percent by weight or greater cadmium not completely over-plated by an approved material.Pure, unalloyed zinc or alloys containing 10 percent by weight or greater Zinc not completely over-plated by an approved material.Pink Polyethylene material is prohibited from use in any form (e.g., bags, bubble, wraps, trays, bottles, foam, connector caps, etc.) on all products delivered to the buyer.
