Always pack electronic components and assemblies to be sent to Teledyne API’s 
Customer Service in anti-ESD bins, tubes or bags. 

 

 

 DO NOT use standard adhesive tape as a sealer.  Use ONLY anti-ESD tape. 

1.  Open the outer shipping box away from the anti-ESD work area. 
2.  Carry the still sealed ant-ESD bag, tube or bin to the anti-ESD work area. 
3.  Follow steps 6 and 7 of Section 8.5.3 above when opening the anti-ESD container at the 

work station. 

4.  Reserve the anti-ESD container or bag to use when packing electronic components or 

assemblies to be returned to Teledyne API. 

1.  Never carry the component or assembly without placing it in an anti-ESD bag or bin. 
2.  Before using the bag or container allow any surface charges on it to dissipate: 

  If you are at the instrument rack, hold the bag in one hand while your wrist strap is 

connected to a ground point. 

  If you are at an anti-ESD workbench, lay the container on the conductive work 

surface. 

  In either case wait several seconds. 

3.  Place the item in the container. 
4.  Seal the container.  If using a bag, fold the end over and fastening it with anti-ESD tape. 

  Folding the open end over isolates the component(s) inside from the effects of static 

fields. 

  Leaving the bag open or simply stapling it shut without folding it closed prevents the 

bag from forming a complete protective envelope around the device.
