SMC ZP2-T8030WGS-B5 | ZP2 Series Oval Vacuum Pad 80x30mm With Adapter Vertical Entry Conductive Silicone Rubber ESD-Safe

The SMC ZP2-T8030WGS-B5 is a large oval vacuum pad from the ZP2 series, featuring an 80x30mm pad footprint with vertical vacuum entry adapter configuration. This is the largest standard oval size in the ZP2 lineup, providing maximum contact area for securely gripping wide rectangular workpieces, large packaging materials, sheet stock, and oversized flat components that exceed the capability of smaller oval or standard round pads.

What does the "GS" material code mean on the ZP2-T8030W? The "GS" designation specifies conductive silicone rubber construction, engineered specifically for ESD-sensitive (electrostatic discharge) applications. Conductive silicone provides a controlled path for static charge dissipation during workpiece contact and release, preventing electrostatic damage to sensitive electronic components, semiconductor wafers, display panels, and other static-vulnerable products. This makes the ZP2-T8030WGS the go-to selection for electronics manufacturing, semiconductor packaging, and any automation environment where ESD protection is a mandatory handling requirement.

The conductive silicone material also retains the broad temperature tolerance of standard silicone rubber (-30°C to +180°C), supporting applications involving warm workpieces alongside its ESD protection capabilities. The "T" prefix indicates vertical vacuum inlet orientation, and the "W" oval pad designation ensures the elongated contact profile. The adapter configuration (without buffer) provides a rigid, direct-mount pad-to-tooling interface via the "B5" connection specification.

ZP2 series pads from SMC are available in 38 diameters from 2 to 340mm with materials including NBR, silicone, urethane, FKM, and both conductive NBR and conductive silicone variants. This pad is RoHS compliant and designed for seamless integration into robotic pick-and-place, automated inspection, and high-throughput assembly systems.
