QFN, MLF, LPCC Tubes
These tubes are designed for QFN, MLF, and LPCC devices, providing ESD protection during semiconductor packaging, storage, and shipping.
QFN, MLF, LPCC Tubes in One Paragraph
These tubes are designed for QFN, MLF, and LPCC devices, providing ESD protection during semiconductor packaging, storage, and shipping. SEWATE extrudes them in PVC, PS, PC, PETG and ABS, from 50mm to 1000mm long and 0.30mm to 1.85mm wall thickness, in oval or square profiles. The tubes protect components between the vendor and the pick and place machine, reducing damage from electrostatic discharge and mechanical shock.
Why Buyers Specify QFN, MLF, LPCC Tubes
- Stable dimensions improve unattended device loading and unloading
- Critical dimension control within 5 mils reduces scrap and rework
- Impact resistant material prevents device damage during transit
- Smooth internal interfacing allows devices to slide without binding
- Tube length from 50mm to 1000mm cut to your machine magazine pitch
- Wide material choice balances cost, clarity and environmental impact
