IDEAL-TEK 5.SA.DR.0.ITU ESD Rubber Grip Tweezers 5.SA.DR, SS Anti-Mag, OAL 110mm-4.33in
IDEAL-TEK 5.SA.DR.0.ITU ESD Rubber Grip Tweezers 5.SA.DR, SS Anti-Mag, OAL 110mm-4.33in
The Ideal-tek 5.SA.DR.0.ITU ESD rubber-grip tweezers are designed for delicate applications requiring a small component to be held firmly while maintaining good visibility. This 110 mm model combines straight, very fine, sharp tips with an SA anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless-steel body and ergonomic DR ESD-safe thermoplastic rubber grips. The manufacturer identifies the base model as 5.SA.DR.0.
With a listed tip thickness of 0.06 mm and tip width of 0.11 mm, style 5 offers a fine contact profile for small-component positioning. Select it by the actual component geometry, access, and allowable contact force rather than assuming that the finest tip is always the best fit.
Best Uses / Applications
- Holding and positioning small components during delicate precision assembly.
- Electronic-component handling where the DR model meets the approved ESD-control process.
- Inspection and placement tasks requiring good visibility around a fine, straight contact point.
- Controlled-environment handling after qualification against facility-specific material, cleaning, and contamination requirements.
Key Features
- Style 5 straight, very fine, sharp tips with a superior finish.
- 110 mm overall length and 30 mm listed tip length.
- SA anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless-steel body with a sandblasted finish.
- DR ESD-safe thermoplastic rubber grips with an ergonomic gripping surface.
- Non-reverse action, with an 8 mm listed opening gap.

Both models are described for small-component handling with good visibility. Evaluate their different dimensions against the task; these figures do not establish a load rating, minimum component size, or guaranteed resistance to damage.
Handling and ESD Process Considerations
Inspect the fine tips for alignment and damage before precision work, control gripping force, and avoid using a sharp-point handling tool as a pry bar. Follow applicable manufacturer guidance for cleaning and chemical compatibility; anti-acid stainless steel is not universally resistant to all chemicals.
Anti-magnetic construction and ESD control are separate properties. Ideal-tek designates this DR configuration as ESD safe, but the tool, operator, gloves, and workstation must still fit the approved ESD-control procedure. The designation is not certification for electric-shock protection or live electrical work.
The manufacturer describes the model as suitable for cleanroom use. Assess the facility's specific cleaning, contamination, and material requirements before qualification; this wording does not establish a universal cleanroom classification or sterile status.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 5.SA.DR.0.ITU tweezers designed for?
Ideal-tek describes style 5 for delicate applications requiring a small component to be held firmly while maintaining good visibility. Its tips are straight, very fine, and sharp.
Are these tweezers ESD safe?
Yes. Ideal-tek lists the DR model as ESD safe and identifies the grip material as ESD-safe thermoplastic rubber. Confirm suitability within the actual approved ESD-control process.
How does style 5 differ from style 4?
For these DR models, style 5 is 110 mm long with a 30 mm tip length and 0.06 mm tip thickness. Style 4 is 115 mm long with a 25 mm tip length and 0.07 mm tip thickness. Both have a listed tip width of 0.11 mm.
Is the stainless-steel body anti-magnetic?
Yes. The SA body is described as anti-acid, anti-magnetic stainless steel with a sandblasted finish. These properties are separate from the ESD designation of the DR configuration.
Are these reverse-action tweezers?
No. Ideal-tek lists reverse action as no. Choose a different mechanism if the task specifically requires reverse-action holding.
Can these tweezers be used in a cleanroom?
The manufacturer describes the model as suitable for cleanroom use. Your facility must assess the exact cleaning, contamination, and material requirements; the description alone does not qualify a specific process or room classification.
