HV-KIT-ESD Handi-Vac Kit is static-dissipative and uses conductive silicone vacuum cups. Each kit comes with one 1/8" and one 1/4" vacuum cup on bent probes, as well as one 1/8" and one 3/8" vacuum cup on straight probes. Applications include SMT parts, metal parts, plastic parts or any item with a smooth, nonporous surface that the rubber vacuum tweezer tip can seal against. Can be used with any of the company’s rubber vacuum cups ranging in size from 3/32" to 3/4" in diameter.
