Antistatic Bag

A shielding bag used to store and transport static-sensitive components.

Definition

Metallic shielding bags protect components from external static fields; pink bags are only static-dissipative. Components should stay in shielding bags until installed. Do not place components on top of the bag as a work surface, since the outside can hold charge.

Example

Return a replaced motherboard in the shielding bag that the new one came in.

Exam tip

Store components inside the bag, not on top of it.
