5 Electrostatic Charges

Texas Instrument uses only static dissipative tape-and-reel materials (surface resistivity of 105 to 1012Ω to avoid damaging static charges building up during the peeling off of the cover tape prior to pick and place. Texas Instrument ran extensive evaluations on cover tape materials and found that static charge builds up was very low (less than 200 volts) on static dissipative cover tapes. In comparison, commonly used insulative cover tapes had readings consistently in excess of 3000 volts.
