OVERVIEW of Semitron® ESd Overview |
The Semitron® ESd family of static dissipative products was designed by MCAM-Quadrant for use where electrical discharge in operation is a problem. They are commonly used for sensitive electronic components including: integrated circuits, hard disk drives and circuit boards. Semitron products are also an excellent choice for material handling applications, and components in high speed electronic printing and reproducing equipment.
Semitron® ESd products are inherently dissipative and electrically stable unlike many other "dissipative" plastic shapes. They do not rely on atmospheric phenomena to activate, nor are surface treatments used to achieve dissipation. Static electricity is dissipated through these products as readily as it is dissipated along the surface. All of these products dissipate 5 KV in less than 2 seconds per Mil-B-81705C.
Available from USA, Singapore and Taiwan stock.

Surface resistivity: 10*6 - 10*9 ohms/sq.
Thermal performance
Semitron® ESd 480
Static Dissipative PEEK - ORDER ONLINE
Semitron® ESd 480 is static-dissipative, carbon fiber reinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone for use where the properties of PEEK are needed, but protection from static discharge is a requirement. This material is available in sheets and rods and is black in color.
Semitron ESd 480 has a surface resistivity of 13 10*6and 1 X 10*9Ù/sq, but its heat-deflection temperature is 480°F. Its chemical resistance makes it suitable for wafer handling and other structural applications in wet process tools where static dissipation is important.
Semitron® ESd 500HR
Static Dissipative PTFE - ORDER ONLINE
Reinforced with a proprietary synthetic mica, Semitron® ESd 500HR offers an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability. Semitron® ESd 500HR should be considered wherever Teflon* PTFE is used. It is ideal for applications where controlled bleed off of static charges is critical. It is white in color.
Surface resistivity: 10*10 - 10*12 ohms/sq.
Thermal performance to 500°F (260°C)
Thermally insulative
Very low coefficient of friction
Broad chemical resistance
Semitron® ESd 520HR
Static Dissipative Machining Stock - ORDER ONLINE
Semitron® ESd 520HR has an industry first combination of electrostatic dissipation (ESd), high strength and heat resistance. This new ESd material is ideal for making nests, sockets and contactors for test
equipment and other device handling components. The key features of 520HR are its unique ability to resist dielectric breakdown at high voltages (>100V). The graph below demonstrates the electrical performance of
plastic materials commonly used in automated test handlers. Typical carbon fiber enhanced products become irreversibly more conductive when exposed to even moderate voltage.
Only Semitron® ESd 520HR maintains its performance throughout the voltage range, while offering the mechanical performance needed to excel in demanding applications.
Surface resistivity: 10*10 - 10*12 ohms/sq.
Semitron MDS100 - ORDER ONLINE
Semitron® MDS 100 has a remarkable combination of strength, stiffness and stability. It was developed to be used in uncontrolled application environments or where a high level of precision is required. It is an ideal choice for semiconductor test sockets, nests and fixtures in test and package equipment.
Moisture absorption of .10% at 24 hrs. (per ASTM D570).
Thermal performance to 410°F (210°C)
Flexural modulus > 1,400,000 psi
