Tinkerer <tinker5@anytime.net>: Feb 25 05:05PM -0500 I have a static sensitive circuit with a small battery compartment located just underneath, almost touching. Since there is a chance for shorts, what could I put between the circuit board bottom and battery box? Some of the IC's are static sensitive, so not a plastic that build charge. Since this was a homemade project, is there anything I could use from around the house?

For covering a small area, you could probably cut a square out of a latex glove for something more insulating (although also likely to rot faster).   Elijah ------ also consider stickers, old credit cards, scraps of tyvek envelopes, etc

The tape they also recommend buying there, kapton, is what I have here at present. However, I didn't realize it came in static and non-static versions. Do you know any way i could tell if the kapton I have is anti-static?

I don't want to manipulate anything - just see if there's something amiss.   Too bad there's not a simple smb monitor, built-in.   RL
