Dear all,
I bought some loose components from Element14 recently, and found that my LM317LILP (TO-92, 3-pin, order # 2144325) was delivered in a non-ESD bag, while another component 2N3906 (common PNP TO-92 transistor) was packed in ESD bag, see photo attached. To my surprise, Element14 replied that according to page 7 of the LM317 datasheet (https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm317l.pdf), ESD packaging is NOT required. However I did not find anything relevant in said datasheet (sure I am not good enough to understand all in the datasheet)....
Anyone knows about ESD packing requirement for delivery/shipment of (sensitive) electronic components, kindly comment....
