Re: Plastics

Also, pay attention to the possibility of ESD when using plastics for electronics mounting. A fellow inspector and I witnessed a team last year at Chesapeake having strange issues caused by their mounting board.

A sheet of 0.063" aluminum with some dimple dies may be lighter and thinner than a plastic of the same stiffness and load capacity.
