Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an antistatic base for manipulation with electronic components workplaces made of a rubber layer with a specific volume resistance (according to DIN 53482) of at least 10 2 ücm.
  • Damage to electronic components due to the influence of electrostatic charges is a problem that increases with the sensitivity of these components. Of particular importance is the high capacity which the human being represents. Values up to 4000 pF have already been measured, with the average being around 200 pF. Friction on clothing, the floor, the seat and the like results in electrostatic charging of the body, which can reach peak voltages of 6,000 V. The discharge of these voltages via an electronic component can lead to its destruction, whereby the damage does not have to be immediately noticeable, but can be a considerable impairment of the service life.
  • CMOS circuits because their insulated control electrode (gate) has a high impedance and has a capacitive effect on the flow of the current.
  • Such circuits have a very thin dielectric film which is suitable for recording an undesired charge state, and if a critical limit is exceeded, the dielectric breaks down to ground potential.
  • Many other electronic components are also highly sensitive to antistatic charges.
  • flooring mats are also used, which are intended to ground everyone who comes close to the workplace.
  • the known antistatic underlays have a multilayer structure, the top layer consisting of a mass-conductive plastic material. Underneath there is a highly conductive intermediate layer, for example in the form of a network of carbon fibers. Finally, there is a foam layer underneath for greater comfort and an underside made of non-slip material.
  • this known pad can achieve the desired effect of dissipating antistatic charges, it is relatively uneconomical due to its complicated structure.
  • the temperature resistance of the plastic material used in the top layer is not sufficient to avoid injuries to this layer, for example in the event of accidental contact with a soldering iron.
  • the highly conductive intermediate layer is exposed, which can not only lead to undesirable short-circuits of the manipulated parts, but also represents a certain risk of danger if bare conductor parts come into contact with it.
  • the present invention therefore has set itself the goal of creating an antistatic pad that 100% satisfies from the standpoint of electrical safety, causes a safe discharge of electrical charges from antistatic bodies, which is non-slip and which always a clean work surface even after prolonged use represents.
  • an antistatic base of the type described at the outset in that at least part of the top of the base has preferably regularly distributed depressions, the extent of which in the plan is at least 8 mm, preferably at least 10 mm, and the others in at least one direction Dimensions and relative distances from one another are selected such that the waste wire pieces with the maximum length come to lie in the depressions without protruding from them.
  • This formation of an antistatic pad fulfills the task outlined above in all respects.
  • This configuration of the surface of the antistatic base due to the surface structuring through the depressions, provides a good possibility of contact with parts placed thereon.
  • electronic components are often packed in conductive bags, which also become electrostatically charged during transport to the work surface. It has to take care of it be carried that this charge is derived when the bags are placed on the base. This can happen particularly quickly with a pad according to the invention, since the contact resistance z. B. can be kept low from the pad to the sachet.
  • the antistatic pad is grounded, otherwise the charges could not flow off.
  • a Erdurigssciiiene is provided on the wall adjacent to the workplace or on the floor, to which the documents are connected in an electrically conductive manner at the workplace and possibly on the floor.
  • conductive handbands are used, which are conductively connected to the base, which is located at the workplace, via a suitable connection, for example a push button or a frog clamp.
  • the pieces of wire produced as waste have a maximum length of about 8 mm, so that they have space in the recess in any case.
  • the depressions should be distributed at least over the part of the upper side that is used for work, whereby the distances should not be too large.
  • a not insignificant safety advantage of the antistatic pad made of rubber according to the invention is achieved in that, in contrast to the known plastic pads, it can also be equipped with excellent fire protection.
  • the fire risk can be largely minimized by adding suitable fire protection agents to rubber and choosing suitable rubber formulations. The risk of fire as a result of negligent handling of the soldering iron can thus be eliminated.
  • the depth of the depressions can expediently be 2 to 5 mm, preferably 3 to 4 mm. This depth of the depressions ensures that the waste pieces of wire come to rest in the depressions, and even an inclined position of these pieces of wire does not yet result in protruding from the depressions and thus into the work area. With this dimensioning of the reinforcements, it is also expedient that the depressions can be used during work to fix some components, thereby effectively preventing accidental wiping away by the operator's hand movements.
  • the web width of the material between the depressions is 1 to 5 mm.
  • the average length of these pieces of wire then tilts these pieces of wire into the depressions, so that the desired effect of keeping the actual work surface free of impurities can be achieved.
  • the depressions are designed in the form of a parallelogram.
  • the long axis of the parallelogram can be oriented approximately parallel to the edge of the workplace, which the operator faces, so that the pieces of wire usually fall in this direction of the depressions.
  • the parallelograms are arranged with their shorter axes away from the operator, as a result of which a more compact surface is formed in this direction.
  • a further expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the depressions in the plan have a preferably three-sided uniform thickness profile. Uniform thickness profiles are characterized in that their chords leading through the center point, like the diameter of circles, are all of the same length. In the case of a constant-thickness cross-section, it does not matter in which direction the pieces of wire fall down: in any case, they get into the recess in the correct orientation.
  • the antistatic pad may be connected to a grounding bar via frog clamps.
  • An appropriate attachment of the frog clamp is possible if the base has a thickening on at least one side along the edge. The frog clamp can then be clamped via this thickening.
  • the thickening also acts as a barrier against parts falling off the base, which is also a desired effect.
  • An analogous effect can also be achieved if the base has a groove on at least one side along the edge. The groove also serves to catch parts that could otherwise be touched by the surface.
  • the base has depressions only on its upper side, while the lower side is essentially smooth and, at best, has a design which improves its slip resistance.
  • the base can be turned over in the event of manipulations, where this seems at best desirable, so that its essentially smooth underside becomes the top.
  • the top and bottom of the base have depressions.
  • An antistatic pad according to the present invention has a surface resistance, measured according to DIN 53596, of at most 1010 a. This resistance characteristic ensures that there is always essentially the same potential on the entire surface of the base, which also applies to the electronic components deposited at different locations on the antistatic base.
  • FIG. 1 shows a top view of a base
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of a top view
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show cross sections through partial areas.
  • a base 1 which has essentially square depressions 2 in plan. Along the edge, the base 1 has a thickening 5, over which a frog clamp can be placed at a suitable point (not shown), which brings about the conductive connection 8 to an earth line.
  • the recesses of the base 1 can have any desired geometric shape in plan.
  • Fig. 2 a section of a base 1 is shown, the recesses 3 having the shape of a three-sided thickness in plan. As mentioned above, this design ensures that it does not matter in which direction falling pieces of wire fall into the recess, since they have the same diameter in every direction.
  • FIG 3 shows a partial area of a base 1 in cross section. It can be seen that the depressions 4 are separated by webs 6. The walls of the webs 6 fall to the bottom of the recess 4 in a concavely curved manner, which facilitates slipping in of pieces of wire. The bevelling of the walls of the web 6 can also be flatter and depends on the special requirements of the respective work station.
  • FIG. 4 shows a section of an edge area cross section of a base 1.
  • edge thickening 5 which is approximately elliptical in cross section.
  • the thickening 5 is used, among other things, for connecting a frog clamp for the grounding conductor and for the conductive bracelet.
