why are dip switches static sensitive

MrAl:
Hi,

I have to agree with all the other replies that mention the use of a 'standard' packing material.
If there isnt that much difference in price then it makes sense to stick everything into anti static foam because there are simplification benefits that include:
1.  Dont have to buy separate packing material.
2.  Dont have to train personnel on different types of packing material and what parts go with what packing material.
3.  Mixed lots dont have to be separated.
4.  Large quantities of the same packing material will be cheaper than smaller quantities of two different types given similar pricing.

What is worse is when they dont use anti static packaging when it is really required.
exe:
TME sends many common ICs with MSL1 (unlimited) in hermetic bags along with humidity  absorbers and humidity indicators inside. On the back there is an instruction explaining how to hangle ICs. It clearly says that the shall life is unlimited when the bag is opened* :).

*at 30C and 60%h or below.
