ESD Glossary of Terms

TDI developed the “JD” Static Dissipative Ceramic Tweezers to provide the features of enhanced strength and high surface finish ceramic tip material with excellent transient current discharge performance in handing slider / HGA / HSA components. Additionally, the “JD”® tweezers offer alignable replacement tips, which provide the lowest cost of ownership versus any other TDI Static Dissipative tweezers developed for the Disk Drive Industry.

TDI Developed the “PD”® Static Dissipative Polymer Tweezers to provide the features of a durable polymer tip material with excellent transient current discharge performance in handling slider / HGA / HSA components. The “PD”® tweezers also offer self-aligning replacement tips. Replacement of these tips versus complete tweezers replacement has provided a cost of ownership reduction of 40%+.

TDI is the exclusive world wide supplier of the highest quality static dissipative tweezers, replacement tips, scissors and media handling tools for the Disk Drive Industry, manufactured in Switzerland.

How You Benefit:

  • Substantial cost reduction of static dissipative tools as a result of our unique designs for replacement tips
