ESD-Safe WD-40 Lubricant Valve for Sensitive Electronics and Computer Manufacturing with Static Dissipation.

ESD-Safe WD-40 Lubricant Valve for Sensitive Electronics and Computer Manufacturing with Static Dissipation.

Product Description:
In the world of electronics manufacturing, where a single electrostatic discharge (ESD) can destroy a valuable component, every tool must be part of the solution. Our ESD-Safe WD-40 Lubricant Valve is specifically designed for ESD-protected areas (EPAs), providing safe and controlled application of contact cleaners and specialist lubricants. The valve is constructed from intrinsically static-dissipative materials that prevent the buildup of triboelectric charge, safely grounding any potential through the user's hand or the system. This eliminates the risk of a spark from the valve damaging sensitive circuit boards, microchips, or electrical assemblies. Beyond its safety features, it delivers the ultra-fine, controlled mist required for applying moisture-displacing fluids and lubricants to precision components without overspray. For industries like computer hardware manufacturing, telecommunications, and automotive electronics, this valve is not an accessory but a necessity. It ensures that your lubrication and cleaning processes adhere to the highest standards of electrostatic control, protecting your products and your profitability.

Bullet Points:

• Constructed from static-dissipative materials for use in ESD-protected areas.

• Prevents damage to sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge during lubrication.

• Ideal for applying specialist contact cleaner and moisture-displacing fluids.

• Controlled, ultra-fine mist prevents overspray on delicate circuit boards.

• A critical tool for maintaining integrity in electronics manufacturing and repair.

Specific Application Scenario: In a server assembly facility, a technician uses the ESD-safe valve to apply a precise amount of contact cleaner to the edge connectors of a motherboard, safely removing oxidation without any risk of ESD damage to the surrounding chips.

Factory Production Floor: Manufactured in an ESD-controlled environment. All materials are certified for their static-dissipation properties, and the final product is tested to meet relevant ESD standards.

Packing and Transportation: Packaged in pink, static-dissipative polybags within ESD-safe containers. All packaging is clearly marked with ESD symbols to ensure proper handling throughout the supply chain.

FAQ:

1. Q: What does ESD-safe mean for a lubricant valve?
   A: It means the materials used will not generate or hold a static charge, and will safely dissipate any existing charge, preventing a sudden discharge that could damage electronic components.

2. Q: Is this valve necessary for using contact cleaner?
   A: Absolutely. The act of spraying an aerosol can generate significant static charge. Using an ESD-safe valve is a critical precaution when working on or near live circuits or static-sensitive parts.

3. Q: What is the surface resistivity of the valve material?
   A: The valve is designed to have a surface resistivity within the static-dissipative range (typically 10^5 to 10^11 ohms/sq), as defined by international ESD standards.

4. Q: Can it be used with standard lubricants, or only electronics specialist products?
   A: It is physically compatible with all standard canisters but is specifically intended for use with electronics-grade products like contact cleaners and moisture displacers.

5. Q: How do I ensure the valve remains ESD-safe?
   A: Avoid cleaning it with solvents that could leave an insulating film. Store it in its original ESD-safe packaging when not in use to prevent contamination.
