StratoGrey 6x24 Static Shielding Bags - Faraday Cage ESD Protection
StratoGrey 6x24 static shielding bags deliver reliable electrostatic discharge protection for sensitive electronic components, circuit boards, and assemblies. The buried metal construction creates a true Faraday cage that shields contents from external static fields while preventing internal charge buildup. This elongated 6x24 format accommodates long circuit boards, memory modules, expansion cards, and narrow electronic assemblies requiring professional ESD protection.
Specs: 6 x 24" | Buried metal construction | Semi-transparent | 3/8" side seal | 500/case | Amine/amide-free interior
Applications
The 6x24 StratoGrey format serves electronics manufacturers, repair facilities, and distribution operations handling elongated components. Common applications include packaging expansion cards, memory module strips, LED light strips, ribbon cables, sensor arrays, and long-format PCBs. Contract manufacturers use these bags for work-in-process storage where components require repeated access without compromising ESD protection. The semi-transparent material enables quick visual identification of contents without opening, reducing handling and potential exposure.
Key Features
- Buried Metal Construction: Creates complete Faraday cage protection that blocks external electrostatic fields and prevents charge transfer to sensitive components
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or cause outgassing that can damage sensitive electronics and optical components
- Semi-Transparent Material: Allows visual identification of contents without opening, maintaining ESD protection during inventory checks
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seal construction ensures packaging integrity during storage, handling, and shipping
- Seal-Top Closure: Open-top design allows easy access for components requiring multiple insertions and removals
- Double Protection: Dual-layer construction provides redundant static shielding for mission-critical components
Technical Specifications
StratoGrey bags utilize a multi-layer construction with a buried metallic layer sandwiched between protective polymer films. This design creates a continuous conductive barrier around the bag's entire surface. The amine-free interior is specifically formulated to prevent chemical reactions with polycarbonate-based electronics components, eliminating the stress cracking and contamination issues associated with conventional ESD packaging materials.
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Static shielding bags like StratoGrey contain a metallic layer that creates a Faraday cage, actively blocking external static fields. Anti-static bags only prevent charge generation from the bag material itself but don't shield against external discharges. For sensitive components, shielding bags provide superior protection.
Q: Can I see what's inside StratoGrey bags without opening them?
A: Yes. The semi-transparent construction allows visual identification of contents while maintaining full ESD protection. This reduces handling and eliminates the need to open bags for inventory verification.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate components?
A: Absolutely. StratoGrey uses an amine/amide-free interior specifically designed to prevent the chemical reactions that cause stress cracking in polycarbonate. They also produce no outgassing, making them safe for optical components and sensitive assemblies.
