Excelta 260D-ESD Spatula - Mini-Straight .025" Tip - SS/Aluminum Handle
Excelta 260D-ESD Spatula – Conductive Mini-Straight, .025" Tip, SS/Aluminum Handle
The Excelta 260D-ESD is a conductive miniature straight spatula designed for applying epoxies, lubricants, and adhesives in small, controlled amounts into tight or confined spaces. With the widest tip in the conductive 260 series at .025", it is optimized for applications requiring broader material coverage. The red aluminum handle provides instant visual identification in ESD-controlled workstation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 260D-ESD used for?
A: Applying epoxies, lubricants, adhesives, and other compounds in small, controlled amounts into tight spaces during electronics assembly and precision lab work — particularly where a broader tip coverage is needed versus finer variants.
Q: What does "conductive" mean for this tool?
A: A conductive tool actively dissipates electrostatic charge and must be used with proper grounding to safely redirect static away from sensitive electronic components.
Q: Why is the handle red?
A: The red handle color distinguishes the 260D-ESD from other 260 series variants on the workbench — gold (260E-ESD), green (260C-ESD), and natural aluminum (260AA-ESD).
Q: How does the 260D-ESD compare to the 260C-ESD?
A: Both are conductive with aluminum handles, but the 260D-ESD has a slightly wider .025" tip vs. the 260C-ESD’s .020" tip for broader material application coverage.
Q: What tip material is used?
A: The tip is made of AISI 1075 carbon steel, providing durability and consistent performance at the .025" tip size.
