FR2120 ESD Stitcher

ESD Stitcher – Description

An ESD Stitcher is a specialized stapling or stitching tool designed for use in electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive environments, such as electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, and static-controlled workstations. This tool allows operators to bind documents, packaging materials, or lightweight components without generating static electricity that could damage sensitive electronic devices.

Key Features

• ESD-safe body and handle: Made from conductive or static-dissipative materials to safely discharge static build-up

• Low surface resistivity: Typically within 10⁶–10⁹ ohms/sq, preventing electrostatic accumulation

• Non-sparking mechanism: Reduces risk in flammable or highly sensitive environments

• Lightweight and ergonomic: Comfortable for frequent use

• Compatible with standard or ESD-safe staples

Common Applications

• Stapling documents in ESD-protected areas (EPAs)

• Securing anti-static bags, cleanroom papers, or component documentation

• Closing packaging or labels in SMT and PCB assembly lines

• Use in laboratories, aerospace, semiconductor production, and precision manufacturing

Benefits

• Ensures safe static-free operation around sensitive components

• Helps maintain compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340-5-1

• Reliable and durable for daily industrial or cleanroom use

• Prevents costly damage from accidental electrostatic discharge

• Some models are cleanroom-compatible with low outgassing and particle emission
