What is the English name of this?

Hi diyers,

I need to find the English word for the "carbon foam" that e.g. ICs are placed in to prevent electrostatic damage to them. One of you know what it's called?

Greetings,

Conductive foam is the name I always used.

Yep. I've also seen it called carbon-loaded conductive foam, to distinguish it from the pink anti-stat foam.

Hi both - thanks. I just couldn't find the word so appreciate your input ;-)

Also anti-static foam.

Hi - thank you also - now I've found several suppliers using the different words so no need for more replies.

Cheers,

Jesper
