Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC
Anti-Static IC Tubes are extruded plastic channels designed for packaging through-hole and surface-mount electronic components including ICs, SOP, DIP, TO-220, and PLCC packages.
Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC in One Paragraph
Anti-Static IC Tubes are extruded plastic channels designed for packaging through-hole and surface-mount electronic components including ICs, SOP, DIP, TO-220, and PLCC packages. They maintain device orientation from the component vendor to the pick and place machine, preventing jamming and misfeeds. SEWATE produces them in PVC, PS, PC, PETG, and ABS with oval or square profiles, wall thickness from 0.30mm to 1.85mm, and lengths from 50mm to 1000mm. Anti-static protection is achieved through surface treatment or built-in additives, ensuring ESD protection during handling, transport, and storage.
Why Buyers Specify Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC

Production Route for Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC
- Review of application requirements and tube function during quotation
- Drawing created from purchase order and sent for customer approval before tooling
- Mould making and tooling trial on the approved profile
- Sample production with 20-50 free tubes for fit testing on the actual device
- Extrusion of the approved profile followed by cutting to ordered length
- Anti-static treatment applied via surface layer process or additive as specified
- Plug fitting, counting, and packing into cartons as per customer requirement
How Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC Is Checked

Comparing Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC
| Tape and reel | Tubes hold larger and heavier packages like TO-220 and ceramic TOs that tape pockets cannot support, but tape is better for high-volume SMD placement |
|---|---|
| Vacuum formed trays | Trays offer better protection for fragile or fine-pitch packages, but tubes are lower cost per unit and load directly into tube feeders |
| Bulk bag packing | Tubes cost more per unit than bulk bags but eliminate random orientation, ESD exposure, and manual loading time |
| Standard stock tubes | Custom profiles require one-time tooling and 4-6 weeks lead time, but stock profiles ship in 5-15 days and fit only devices they were designed for |
Working With Anti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC
- Send a tube drawing, device drawing, or physical sample so the internal profile can be matched
- If no drawing exists, send the physical component for profile measurement
- Confirm tube length against the magazine pitch on your insertion or placement machine
- Specify whether anti-static must survive repeated wiping and long storage to select the right method
- Choose closure type: rubber plugs for repeated opening, pins for one-way shipping
- Store tubes flat and dry in cartons, away from direct sunlight to prevent deformation
- Plan for one-time tooling cost and 4-6 weeks lead time when introducing a new custom profile

See ApplicationAnti-Static IC tubes for IC, SOP,DIP,TO-220,PLCC Buyer Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for anti-static IC tubes?
10000 pieces on standard profiles. The MOQ reflects extrusion setup costs; short runs are not economical due to changeover time and material waste.
How long does a stock tube order take?
5-15 days depending on quantity. Sample tubes for fit testing are delivered in 3-5 days.
How long does a custom tube profile take?
Basic low volume projects take 25-day ARO. Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks. Complex tools or high volume may take 10-12 weeks.
What do you need to quote a custom tube?
One of: a tube drawing, a device drawing, or a physical sample. If none exists, send the component for profile measurement.
Which material should I choose for my application?
PVC is the standard for strength and stability. PS is halogen free and lower cost. PC is for tight tolerances and high impact. PETG is best for heavy-duty use. ABS is used when impact resistance is critical.
Is the anti-static property permanent?
It depends on the method. Surface treatment can degrade with wiping or long storage. Additives built into the resin maintain anti-static performance longer. Specify your storage and handling needs to select the right option.
Do the tubes come with plugs?
Yes. Rubber end plugs, plastic pins, nails, caps, and EPE plugs are available and selected based on the tube profile and how often the tube is opened.
