Teknipure TKS502E Micro Tip Pick Dual End ESD Swab, 2.602"(6.61 cm), 2500 swabs/case

Teknipure TKS502E Micro Tip Pick Dual End ESD Swab, 2.602" (6.61 cm), 2500 Swabs/Case

The Teknipure TKS502E is a dual-end ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe cleanroom swab featuring micro pick tips on both ends, designed for precision cleaning and manipulation of ESD-sensitive components in electronics assembly and cleanroom environments. The static-dissipative construction prevents charge buildup during use, protecting sensitive components such as ICs, SMDs, and other ESD-susceptible devices from electrostatic damage. At 2.602 inches (6.61 cm), the TKS502E is a compact swab well-suited for fine-pitch component cleaning, connector pin access, and detail work in tight spaces. Sold in cases of 2500 swabs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the TKS502E ESD safe?

The TKS502E is constructed with static-dissipative materials throughout the swab body and tip, allowing any electrostatic charge to dissipate safely rather than discharge suddenly across sensitive components. This is critical when cleaning or handling ICs, SMDs, MOSFETs, and other ESD-susceptible devices where even a small electrostatic discharge can cause latent or immediate component failure. Always use ESD swabs as part of a complete ESD control program including grounded mats, wrist straps, and ESD-safe workstations.

What is a micro tip pick and when should I use it?

A micro tip pick is a very fine, pointed foam tip designed for accessing extremely tight spaces such as fine-pitch connector pins, IC socket contacts, and small SMD component gaps that standard round or medium foam tips cannot reach. The dual-end design provides two usable tips per swab, reducing waste and allowing one end to be used for solvent application and the other for a dry detail pass.

How does the TKS502E compare to the TKS505E and TKS507E ESD swabs?

The TKS502E (2.602") is the most compact ESD swab in the Teknipure TKS5xxE series, with a micro pick dual-end tip for the finest access. The TKS505E (3.484") has a pointed foam tip for slightly larger access areas, and the TKS507E (3.583") has a small foam tip for general ESD-safe cleaning. Choose the TKS502E when the finest tip geometry and dual-end utility are the priority.

What solvents are compatible with the TKS502E ESD foam tip?

Teknipure ESD foam swabs are compatible with isopropyl alcohol (IPA), deionized water, and most mild cleaning agents used in electronics assembly. For aggressive solvents such as acetone, MEK, or strong acids, verify compatibility before use as these may degrade the foam tip or affect the static-dissipative properties.
