12x30 StratoGrey Static Shielding Bags - Faraday Cage Protection for Sensitive Electronics
StratoGrey static shielding bags provide double protection against electrostatic discharge with buried metal construction that creates a true Faraday cage. The 12x30 size accommodates oversized circuit boards, server components, keyboard assemblies, and other long-format electronics that require superior ESD protection during storage, shipping, and handling.
Specs: 12 x 30" | Buried metal construction | Faraday cage shielding | 200/case | Amine/amide-free interior
Applications
The 12x30 static shielding bag serves electronics manufacturing, repair facilities, and component distribution operations. PCB manufacturers use this size for long motherboards and multi-board assemblies. Computer service centers protect replacement keyboards, laptop screens, and server rack components. Semiconductor distributors rely on the Faraday cage construction when shipping high-value ICs and memory modules. The amine/amide-free interior makes these bags safe for polycarbonate surfaces and optical components that can be damaged by outgassing from lower-quality ESD bags.
Key Features
- Buried Metal Faraday Cage: Creates a complete electrostatic shield around contents, blocking external ESD events from reaching sensitive components
- Amine/Amide-Free Interior: Will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or cause outgassing damage to sensitive optical and electronic assemblies
- Semi-Transparent Material: Easy visual identification of contents without opening the bag, reducing handling and inspection time
- 3/8" Side Seal: Reinforced seal construction maintains packaging integrity during storage and handling
- Seal Top Closure: Convenient open-and-reseal design for components requiring multiple access during testing or assembly
Common Questions
Q: What's the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Anti-static bags prevent static buildup inside the bag but don't protect against external ESD. Static shielding bags like StratoGrey create a Faraday cage that blocks external electrostatic discharge from penetrating to contents—essential for protecting sensitive ICs and PCBs during shipping.
Q: Are these bags safe for polycarbonate lenses and optical equipment?
A: Yes. The amine/amide-free interior will not corrode polycarbonate surfaces or cause outgassing that damages optical coatings. This makes them suitable for camera components, displays, and precision optics.
Q: Can I reuse static shielding bags?
A: For non-critical storage, bags in good condition can be reused. For ESD-sensitive shipping, use new bags to ensure full Faraday cage integrity. The seal-top closure supports multiple access cycles during testing and assembly operations.
