SCS 960, Mini Air Ionizer, No Power Adapter
SCS 960, Mini Air Ionizer, No Power Adapter
The SCS 960 is a compact mini air ionizer for ESD-protected workstations where space is at a premium — neutralizing static charges on non-groundable insulators, PCBs, and process materials in a smaller footprint than a standard benchtop ionizer. The 960 does not include a power adapter, making it suited for facilities that already have a compatible power source or that are integrating the ionizer into an existing equipment setup. SCS is a leading manufacturer of ESD control products with a broad ionizer product line.

Key Features
- Compact Mini Form Factor: Smaller footprint than a standard benchtop ionizer — ideal for space-constrained workstations or applications where a full-size ionizer won’t fit.
- AC Corona Discharge Ionization: Neutralizes static charges on non-groundable surfaces within the work area.
- No Power Adapter Included: Suited for facilities with a compatible power source already available or for integration into existing equipment setups.
- ANSI/ESD S20.20 Compliant: Meets ionizer requirements per ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ANSI/ESD STM3.1.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the SCS 960 and the SCS 963E?
The SCS 960 is a compact mini ionizer without a power adapter — suited for space-constrained workstations or facilities with a compatible power source already available. The SCS 963E is a full benchtop air ionizer designed for North American power (120V) with a power adapter included — a complete ready-to-use solution. Choose the 963E if you need a plug-and-play benchtop ionizer; choose the 960 if you need a compact unit and have a compatible power source.
Why do I need an ionizer if I already have ESD mats and wrist straps?
ESD mats and wrist straps ground conductors but cannot neutralize charges on insulators. An ionizer floods the work area with balanced ions to neutralize those charges. ANSI/ESD S20.20 requires ionization when insulators with voltages above the process voltage limit are present in the EPA.
Is the SCS 960 compliant with ANSI/ESD S20.20?
Yes. The 960 meets ionizer requirements per ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ANSI/ESD STM3.1 when properly maintained and verified per your ESD program’s periodic audit schedule.
