1. Plug the Teflon
®
lead (f) into the banana jack on the conductive container (h).
2. Hold the container by insulating handle being careful not to contact the sides of the container.
3. Charge yourself up by rubbing your feet on a non-static flooring material and touch the container with other
hand to charge it. Notice the level of charge on the 3M
™
Charge Analyzer 711.
4. Contact an ESD control worksurface with the container and observe the voltage reduction and removal.
Note: Properly performing conductive containers must be able to quickly drain a charge from their surface
when placed upon an ESD control surface.
Demonstration #5 Discharge Performance of a Static Control
Packaging Material
1. Place a packaging material on top of a grounded static control worksurface.
2. Charge up the conductive container as described above in Demonstration #4 and contact the top of the
packaging material with the charged container. Observe the amount of charge draining through the packaging
material on the charge analyzer.
Note: Properly performing packaging materials must be able to quickly drain a charge from their surface
when placed on an ESD control surface.
