PG548 dimensions
Outer dimensions: 548 × 348 × 60 mm.
Inner usable: 530 × 330 × 52 mm (typical, varies slightly by cavity design).
Wall thickness: 1.0-1.5 mm (thermoformed conductive PS).
Stack pitch: 60 mm stacked empty, 60 mm + tray-floor offset stacked loaded with positive registration.
Mass empty: 280-320 g per tray.
Color: black (standard).
Material and ESD
Material: conductive polystyrene (PS) — thermoformed with carbon-loaded styrene resin.
Surface resistance: 10⁴ – 10⁶ Ω/sq, conductive grade per ANSI/ESD S20.20 / IEC 61340-5-1.
Charge decay: under 0.5 seconds at 12% relative humidity.
Temperature: -20°C to +60°C continuous use. Not rated for reflow (use HIPS variant for reflow oven transit).
Tribocharging: under 50V at standard rub test, conforming to S20.20 packaging requirements.
Use cases
PCB WIP between assembly stations — a stacked column of PG548 trays carries 8-12 PCBs through inter-station transport.
Electronic component bulk WIP — loose components in line-side bins.
Custom cavity inserts for specific BOMs — common pattern is open PG548 footprint + thermoformed insert sized to your PCB.
Long-term WIP storage (cleanroom-compatible variants).
Stock and custom orders
Open / no-cavity PG548 trays — stocked at the Los Angeles warehouse, ship same-day. List price $9.75 per unit; volume tiering at 100 / 500 / 1,000 / 5,000+.
Custom cavity inserts — thermoformed to your CAD or sample. NRE for the cavity insert tool typically $1,500-$3,500; lead time 4 weeks from sign-off.
Custom full-cavity PG548 (cavity geometry molded into the tray itself, not as a slot-in insert) — quoted on full-tooling NRE around $4,000-$8,000.
