Not if the tin is grounded. If not grounded, the capacity charge is taken care of by touching the tin before touching it with the part, just like when installing a part in a pc board.
As I said, use the same protocol as if installing a part in a pc board. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- That's no guarantee of anything. It doesn't address the issue of instantaneous static dissipation from the component to the muffin tin itself (which has capacity to its surroundings and acts as it's own charge sink). Reread Gary's comment about surface conductivity.
