Hey Mike,
Try Delrin.
In a previous life it served well for Bed-o-Nail plates on all our
functional testers.
ESD was not a big issue for us except on ASICs and we had no problems I can
remember.
Hope it helps,
FNK

Subject: [TN] Test/Pin Jig Materials


Hi all,

I am just looking into the best material in which to make the main plate of
a pin bed test jig.  I am wanting  some insulative plastic, but I am a
little concerned over the static properties of most plastics/acrylics.  Does
anyone have any idea on the best type of plastic/acrylic/urethane etc to use
in this application to minimise the static risk, or is there an anti-static
plastic about that I can purchase in large blocks for milling???

Cheers

Mike
