Electronic – Energized circuit in a 3M Static Shielding Bag (silver color)

shieldingstatic

I'm wondering if it's safe to put an energized circuit in a static shielding bag…as part of a high altitude balloon project.

I'm not too sure how these work, so I tried seeing if either the outside or inside of the bag was conductive on a regular multimeter, which I found that it was not.

Best Answer

I wouldn't put a high voltage spark generator in it but most other stuff will be OK - circuits won't break or burn-out because the resistance of the static bag is higher than a regular multimeter would read. Having said that some may be lower than a couple of Mohm.

Do antistatic bags have conductive interior, exterior or both?
