New Products

wastebasket Several years ago All-Spec Industries had a very popular conductive, desk size wastebasket. This wastebasket was the perfect size and durable. Unfortunately, our supplier stopped making the product so we had to discontinue the wastebasket.

But, we’re happy to announce that we will soon be offering a similar product! The new All-Spec WB28Q wastebasket is permanently dissipative and features an easily seen ESD-safe logo that can’t rub or peel off. Look for the All-Spec WB28Q soon!

The Hakko FM-2030 is a new high power soldering iron that uses the T22 series soldering tips.

The advantage of the T22 series tips is they provide double the power of the standard T15 series tips. This is done by increasing the mass of the tips so they store more heat and thus transfer it more efficiently on larger and more difficult soldering jobs. In particular these high mass tips are ideal for soldering on heavy ground planes and on areas that have large heat sinks.

All-Spec Industries sells both the full FM2030-02 kit as well as the standalone FM-2030 soldering iron hand piece.

The Hakko FM-2030-02 kit contains:

  • FM-2030 Solder iron hand piece
  • FH200-01 Iron holder with sleep function
  • B3253 Connecting cable
  • B2300 Heat resistant pad

The FM-2030 handpiece is also compatible with the FM-203 dual port soldering station and the FM-206 high performance 3-port rework system. However, some older FM-203 stations will need to be upgraded first. If the serial number on your station is lower than 0220311002129 you will need to purchase an upgrade and the station must be returned to American Hakko, as field upgrades are not available.

Some additional features of the Hakko FM-2030:

  • ESD-safe design
  • Uses ceramic heater
  • Less than 2 ohms tip to ground resistance
  • Under 2mV tip to ground potential

Please visit All-Spec Industries for more information on these and other Hakko products. All-Spec Industries is an authorized distributor of American Hakko products. For over 50 years Hakko has been producing superior quality soldering and desoldering tools, hot air rework stations, smoke and fume extraction systems, and a wide assortment of accessories and related equipment for the electronics, industrial and hobby industries.

Introducing Biodegradable ESD-Safe Bags

by Julie K. on August 24, 2011

Here at All-Spec Industries, we’ve always been interested in environmentally friendly solutions; we support a lot of paperless processes, we recycle glass, plastic, etc…, we shred and recycle all the paper we use and last year we installed energy saving lights in our warehouse.  So when we had the opportunity to offer biodegradable anti-static bags, we were 100% on board.

Since they’ve only been around for about 50 years, it is estimated that plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to break down. In addition, it’s also thought that the bags photodegrade with help of the sun rather than biodegrading. Most plastic bags won’t biodegrade because polyethylene is a man-made material that microorganisms don’t consider food.

This presents a problem to companies who use a lot of anti-static bags. You don’t want to risk failure by reusing the same bag, but the alternative is using a new anti-static bag every time. These new biodegradable anti-static bags are the perfect solution!

Here are the main benefits of these bags:

  • Cost: Just an average of 10% more than our standard anti-static bags. For instance, a package of 1000 standard 4×6” bags cost $21.34 and a package of 1000 biodegradable 4×6” bags cost $25.10
  • Fully biodegradable: These bags will completely break down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass (organic material) within a year under good conditions
  • Handling is the same as standard anti-static bags

Sounds too good to be true, huh?

Here’s some more information.

What makes these bags biodegradable?
Believe it or not, these bags are made biodegradable by the 1% addition of a specially formulated pellet.

What’s required for the bags to biodegrade?
Unlike many biodegradable products that need light, heat, etc… to break down, these anti-static biodegradable bags just need constant contact with other biodegrading material.

Where bags will biodegrade:
-Landfills
-Commercial composting
-Home composting (both with and without the presence of free oxygen)
Where bags will not biodegrade:
-Offices
-Store shelves
-Warehouses

How long do the bags take to break down?
In the right conditions (good landfill with plenty of microorganisms), these bags can completely break down in nine months. That’s certainly an improvement over 1,000 years.
Still not convinced? Here are a few more perks:
-No toxic residue
-Meets REACH requirements
-FDA compliant in applications with food contact
-Permanently anti-static
