Abstract: An ESD protection system which shields PCAs during the assembly process comprises transportable support means for holding an ESD bag in a predetermined position which is convenient both for the insertion and extraction of a PCA(s) and for observing stored PCA(s), thus ensuring proper handling. The system has first and second attachment means for attaching the ESD bag to the frame and for holding papers associated with the PCA(s) outside the ESD bag and for providing the weight necessary for maintaining a sealing fold in the bag whenever the PCA(s) are enclosed therein. The transportable support means is a frame which is constructed to mate with a rack designed for accommodating a plurality of frames. When so mated, the rack provides the desired level of stability and orderly positioning of a desired number of frames spaced apart such that the ESD bags attached to the frames may be easily observed for correct loading, closure and paperwork processing.
