Server Backplane & Long-Form PCB Static Shielding Bags — 10x30 in., 3 mil
These 10x30 static shielding bags are designed for long-form electronic assemblies including server backplane boards, extended PCBs, GPU arrays, and flat cable assemblies that exceed standard bag dimensions. Buried metal-in construction provides complete Faraday cage protection against electrostatic discharge from both internal and external sources.
Specs: 10" x 30" | 3 mil | Static Shielding Multi-Layer | 100/Box | ANSI/ESD S541 Compliant
Applications
- Server backplane boards and chassis-length PCBs
- Extended GPU and RAID controller cards
- Flex cable and flat ribbon cable assemblies
- Stacked or panelized circuit board assemblies
- Long-form electronic subassemblies in MIL-spec environments
Features
- Buried metal-in construction: conductive aluminum layer between two static-dissipative polymeric layers
- Complete Faraday cage protection — shields against charges from inside and outside the bag
- Reclosable zip-top closure for repeated access and reuse
- Approximately 50% transparent for product identification without opening
- Yellow static shielding notice printed on each bag
- No amines, amides, or N-Octanic acid — polycarbonate safe
Material Notes
Three-layer buried metal-in film at 3 mil provides both electrostatic shielding and physical protection. The outer and inner static-dissipative layers prevent triboelectric charge generation during handling. Film contains no corrosive chemistry and is safe for direct contact with polycarbonate connectors and housings. Meets electrical and physical requirements of ANSI/ESD S541 and EIA 625; ANSI/ESD S20.20 program compliant; tested per MIL-STD-3010 4046 and ANSI/ESD STM11.11.
Use Case Notes
The 10x30 format addresses a specific gap for boards and assemblies that are narrow but unusually long — a common geometry in blade servers, storage controllers, and industrial embedded systems. At 30 inches, this bag accommodates most full-depth ATX backplanes and half-rack PCB assemblies without folding.
Common Questions
Q: What is the difference between static shielding bags and anti-static bags?
A: Anti-static (pink) bags prevent triboelectric charge generation on the bag surface but do not block external electrostatic fields. Static shielding bags provide a complete Faraday cage, blocking both internally generated and externally applied electrostatic discharge. For ESD-sensitive components, static shielding is the higher level of protection.
Q: Are these bags MIL-spec compliant?
A: Yes. These bags are tested per MIL-STD-3010 4046 and meet ANSI/ESD S541 and EIA 625 requirements, making them suitable for defense and aerospace procurement specifications.
Why Buy
Long-form PCBs and backplanes are difficult to protect with standard-depth bags. The 10x30 format provides a proper-fit shielding solution without the cost of over-sized bags. The zip-top closure allows repeated inspection and resealing during staging and kitting operations, reducing material waste in high-mix electronics production.
