StratoGrey 8x30 Static Shielding Bags - Faraday Cage ESD Protection
StratoGrey static shielding bags deliver double-layer electrostatic discharge protection through buried metal construction that creates a true Faraday cage. The 8x30 size accommodates long-format electronics including extended circuit boards, ribbon cables, LED strip assemblies, and rack-mount server components. Semi-transparent material allows visual identification of contents without opening.
Specs: 8 x 30" | Buried metal construction | Static shielding | 200/case | 3/8" side seal | Amine-free interior
Applications
The 8x30 format serves electronics manufacturers and service operations handling elongated sensitive components. Data centers use these bags for storing and transporting server memory modules, backplanes, and riser cards. PCB assembly operations protect long-format boards during inter-facility transfers. Aerospace and defense contractors rely on this size for avionics circuit assemblies requiring certified ESD protection. The 30-inch length also accommodates industrial control system components, instrumentation boards, and automotive ECU modules.
Key Features
- Buried Metal Faraday Cage: Multi-layer construction shields contents from both static discharge and electromagnetic interference
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Safe for polycarbonate surfaces—will not cause stress cracking or corrosion on sensitive plastics
- No Outgassing: Clean packaging environment for sensitive optics and semiconductor components
- Translucent Material: Identify contents at a glance without breaking the protective seal
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced edge ensures packaging integrity through storage and handling
- Resealable Design: Open-top allows multiple access cycles for components requiring repeated inspection
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Static shielding bags like StratoGrey contain a conductive metal layer that creates a Faraday cage, blocking external static charges from reaching contents. Standard anti-static bags only prevent charge generation from the bag itself—they don't shield against external discharge events.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate components?
A: Yes. StratoGrey bags use amine/amide-free materials specifically to prevent environmental stress cracking on polycarbonate surfaces. They're safe for optical lenses, display covers, and polycarbonate enclosures.
Q: What size components fit in the 8x30 bag?
A: Allow 1/2" clearance on each side for proper closure. Components up to 7" wide by 29" long fit comfortably. This accommodates most full-length PCIe cards, server memory risers, and long-format industrial control boards.
