Botron B6845 Finger Cots, Pink, Anti-Static, Small (10 Gross)
Botron B6845 Finger Cots, Pink, Anti-Static, Small (10 Gross)
Botron B6845 pink anti-static finger cots provide localized fingertip coverage for handling electronics and small precision parts. These Small finger cots use 100% latex to help limit transfer of skin oils and contaminants while supporting static-control handling. A lightly stippled surface improves grip, and the beaded cuff helps minimize roll-down during use. This listing supplies ten gross.
Best Uses / Applications
Consider B6845 for handling printed circuit boards, through-hole components, micro springs and small screws where fingertip coverage meets the process requirements. The stippled surface helps grip small parts without covering the entire hand. Use finger cots within your facility's ESD-control procedures rather than treating them as a replacement for required personnel grounding.

Botron currently prints the same surface-resistivity range and static-decay figures on both family pages. Do not assume different numerical electrical performance from color or product designation alone; confirm the required test conditions and specification with Botron.
Handling and Selection
Select a fit that stays secure without restricting movement. Inspect before use and replace damaged or contaminated finger cots under facility procedures. Natural latex can cause allergic reactions; use a suitable alternative where latex must be avoided. The referenced page does not establish sterility, a cleanroom classification or chemical-protection performance. Use full-hand protection where the task requires coverage beyond fingertips.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is Botron B6845?
This listing is Small, in Botron's pink anti-static finger-cot family.
How thick and long are these finger cots?
Botron's technical table lists 4 mil thickness and 2.75-inch length.
Are they latex-free?
No. Botron lists 100% latex. Select a suitable alternative for users or processes that must avoid latex.
What improves grip and retention?
A lightly stippled surface helps grip small parts, and the beaded cuff helps reduce roll-down during use.
Are pink and black Botron finger cots electrically different?
The manufacturer calls the pink family anti-static and the black family dissipative, but its current pages list the same resistivity range and static-decay figures. Confirm application-specific electrical requirements with Botron rather than relying on color alone.
Are they sterile or a replacement for grounding?
Neither is established. These provide fingertip coverage for the intended process; retain required ESD controls and qualify any cleanliness or protection requirements separately.
