11.4.2.5. Packing Components for Return to Teledyne Instruments Customer

Service.

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

WARNING

DO NOT

use pink-poly bags.

NEVER

allow any standard plastic packaging materials to touch the electronic

component/assembly directly

This includes

,

but is not limited to, plastic bubble-pack, Styrofoam peanuts,

open cell foam, closed cell foam, and adhesive tape

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

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 down 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.

NOTE

If you do not already have an adequate supply of anti-ESD bags or containers available, Teledyne

Instruments’ Customer Service department will supply them. Follow the instructions listed above

for working at the instrument rack and workstation.
