AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the difficulty in finding the proper term for shipping tubes used for DIP IC packages. Participants express frustration with search results on platforms like Amazon and Google, which yield irrelevant information. A suggestion is made to use the term "anti-static IC shipping tubes" for more effective searches. Additionally, there is interest in sourcing rubber stoppers that effectively seal these tubes. The conversation concludes with a shared acknowledgment of the helpfulness of the suggested search term.

What is the proper term for those tubes that DIP IC packages come shipped in? Searches on Amazon and Google are fruitless and Mouser/Digikey is hopeless unless you know exactly what you're looking for and exactly where it is. A link or even just the right words to use would be appreciated.

Also looking for some rubber stoppers like the ones shown in the pic. Out of all the ways of stopping up the end I've had my ICs shipped with, those are the best.

I've always just called them IC tubes. Do you think there is another name for them?
 
It's not so much that I want to know what they're called, it's that I want to buy some and can't find them when I search for "IC tube". Amazon has nothing and Google comes up with references to some medical condition.
 
Ah. The helpful search term is anti-static. Try a Google search on anti static ic shipping tubes. I got lots of good hits. How does it work for you?
 
That's the magic word, thank you.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
