IC storage foam sheets

[big10p]

Didn't think this would be as hard to get as it turned out. 🫠 Just need sheets about 20x30cm for storing ICs. Not all the conductive stuff being sold is for "pin insertion", but is for packaging and is softer.

I did find one seller but they have a minimum spend of 30 quid. 🙄

Anyone know a good place to get it?

Cant help but to agree , I tried a while ago and said " Sod that , No way am I paying that ! " I had a couple of small sheets I have had for many moons from when I purchased some IC ages ago.

Yeah, I have a few smaller sheets left, but getting over a certain size seems stupidly difficult. ☹️

"5mm High Density Foam ESD Antistatic Pin Insertion 200mmx200mm"

That's what I use... slightly smaller than 20x30

That's the size I got in the end. I just wanted some big enough to fit the base of my storage case. I just cut a couple of pieces to size and glued them in place, in the end.
