MFG FIBRESTAT Conductive Fiberglass Assembly Trays

MFG FIBRESTAT Conductive Assembly Trays are ESD-safe fiberglass trays designed for electronics assembly, inspection, and short-term staging in ESD-controlled environments. Conductive fiberglass construction safely dissipates static charge to ground before it can damage sensitive components, while providing the dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and long service life of MFG's standard fiberglass tray line.

These flat-bottom, low-profile workstation trays are designed for use on assembly benches, inspection stations, and lab work surfaces. They are not nest-stack storage containers; they are working-surface trays that keep components organized and protected from ESD during active handling. All models are available in drop-side or drop-end configurations that allow the tray to slide in and out of rack slots or conveyor guides without lifting.

Sixteen models are available in footprints from 22-1/2" to 34-1/4" long. Prices are shown by manufacturer model number for straightforward competitor comparison.

FIBRESTAT Conductive vs. Standard Fiberglass Assembly Trays:

The standard MFG fiberglass assembly tray line (sold separately) uses identical construction but without the conductive additive. Standard trays are appropriate for general industrial assembly, hot parts handling, and chemical-resistant workstation use where ESD is not a concern. FIBRESTAT conductive trays are the correct choice when your operation handles ESD-sensitive components and your ESD control program requires conductive or dissipative containers at every handling point. Do not substitute standard fiberglass trays for ESD-sensitive applications.

Drop Side vs. Drop End Configurations:

All 16 models on this page are available in either drop-side or drop-end configurations. One model (600300) is a drop-end tray. The remaining 15 models are drop-side trays.

♦ Drop-side trays have one or both long sides that allow the tray to slide in and out of rack slots or conveyor guides from the side without lifting the full tray. This speeds loading and unloading on rack systems and conveyor lines and is the most common configuration for workstation benches.
♦ Drop end trays (600000 and 600300) have one or both short ends configured for end access and are used when the loading direction requires entry and exit from the end of the rack or conveyor lane rather than the side.

If you are selecting trays for an existing rack or conveyor system, confirm which configuration your equipment requires before ordering.

How to Select the Right Model:

♦ Selection is driven by the outside dimensions that fit your workstation, rack, or conveyor configuration. All models are 1" to 2" tall, keeping parts accessible on flat work surfaces. The inside working surface is approximately 1" shorter and narrower than the outside dimensions on each model.
♦ Footprints range from 22-1/2" x 20" (model 218109) to 34-1/4" x 21-3/8" (model 215109). The two drop-end models (600000 and 600300) both measure 29-7/8" x 23-7/8" outside, at 1-1/2" and 2" tall, respectively. All other models are 1" tall.

If you need a smaller format ESD tray for workstation use, the MFG FIBRESTAT conductive nest-only container series covers footprints down to 6-1/8" long. Contact us at 866-333-0728 or use the quote form for help matching tray dimensions to your workstation setup.

Where MFG FIBRESTAT Conductive Assembly Trays Are Most Commonly Used:

♦ Electronics assembly workstations -- Trays keep ESD-sensitive components organized at the bench while providing a conductive work surface that is part of the facility's ESD control chain, from a grounded wrist strap to a grounded tray to a grounded bench.
♦ PCB inspection and test stations -- Components and assemblies staged on conductive trays during inspection and testing remain protected from discharge events that can cause latent damage not detected until later in the production process.
♦ Semiconductor and microelectronics handling -- Wafers, dies, and packaged devices require ESD-safe staging at every point in the handling sequence. Fiberglass construction maintains dimensional stability over years of use, whereas conductive plastic trays drift out of tolerance.
♦ Cleanroom assembly environments -- Smooth fiberglass surfaces resist particle generation and can be cleaned to cleanroom standards, making them appropriate for semiconductor, medical device, and aerospace assembly areas where both ESD control and surface cleanliness are required.
