FR2119 ESD Tape Cutter

ESD Tape Cutter – Description

An ESD Tape Cutter is a precision cutting tool specifically designed for use in electrostatic discharge-sensitive environments. It allows users to safely dispense and cut ESD-safe tapes (such as black conductive or yellow antistatic tape) without generating static charges that could damage electronic components.

Key Features

• ESD-safe construction: Made with static-dissipative or conductive plastic or coated metal materials

• Low surface resistivity: Typically within the range of 10⁶–10⁹ ohms, preventing static buildup

• Sharp, clean-cutting blade: Ensures precise, effortless cuts

• Stable base or handheld options: Can be desk-mounted or portable, depending on the model

• Compatible with multiple tape widths: Adjustable slots for various sizes of ESD tape

Common Applications

• Cutting and dispensing ESD-safe tapes for:

  • PCB masking or component protection

  • Anti-static bag sealing

  • Grounding and marking in ESD-safe zones

• Use at ESD-safe workstations, SMT lines, or in cleanroom packaging areas

Benefits

• Prevents electrostatic discharge during tape application

• Improves safety and efficiency in electronics manufacturing and repair

• Ensures consistent and precise tape length and cut quality

• Supports compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340-5-1 standards

• Helps maintain clean and organized workspaces in static-controlled environments
