Teknipure TKS507E Small Foam ESD Swab, 3.583"(9.10 cm)

Teknipure TKS507E Small Foam ESD Swab, 3.583" (9.10 cm), 2500 Swabs/Case

The Teknipure TKS507E is a small foam ESD (electrostatic discharge) safe cleanroom swab designed for precision cleaning of ESD-sensitive components in electronics assembly and ISO-classified cleanroom environments. The small foam tip provides effective fluid absorption and controlled solvent release for cleaning PCB surfaces, connector contacts, IC packages, and other sensitive components without generating electrostatic charge. At 3.583 inches (9.10 cm), the TKS507E is the longest of the Teknipure small ESD foam swabs, offering slightly more reach than the TKS506E for benchtop electronics cleaning tasks. Sold in cases of 2500 swabs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the TKS507E ESD safe?

The TKS507E is constructed with static-dissipative materials throughout the swab body and tip, allowing electrostatic charge to dissipate safely rather than discharge suddenly across sensitive components. This is critical when cleaning ICs, SMDs, MOSFETs, and other ESD-susceptible devices where even a small 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.

How does the TKS507E differ from the TKS505E and TKS506E?

All three are ESD foam swabs in the Teknipure TKS5xxE series at similar lengths. The TKS505E (3.484") has a pointed foam tip for targeted access to fine-pitch leads and tight spaces. The TKS506E (3.524") has a small round foam tip in a 2500/case quantity. The TKS507E (3.583") is the longest of the three with a small foam tip, offering slightly more reach. Choose based on tip geometry and the access requirements of your specific cleaning application.

What solvents are compatible with the TKS507E 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. Contact MTE Solutions for application-specific guidance.

Can the TKS507E be used dry?

Yes — the TKS507E can be used dry for light dust removal and surface wiping on ESD-sensitive components. For flux residue removal, adhesive cleanup, or more thorough contamination control, pre-wetting with IPA or a dedicated electronics cleaner will provide more effective results. The ESD-safe construction remains effective whether used dry or wetted.
