Symbol CS 2106 WA ESD Cleanscan Barcode Scanner Class II Laser 1999

Symbol CS 2106 WA ESD Cleanscan Barcode Scanner Class II Laser 1999

The Symbol CS 2106 WA is a wired handheld laser barcode scanner from Symbol Technologies' ESD Cleanscan line, designed for use in electrostatic discharge-sensitive environments such as electronics manufacturing, semiconductor assembly, and clean-room applications. It emits a Class II laser beam (650–680nm, 1.0mW) for scanning standard 1D barcodes and connects via a mini-DIN interface cable. This unit was manufactured in March 1999.

Applications

The Symbol CS 2106 ESD Cleanscan series was developed specifically for use in electrostatic discharge-sensitive production environments — electronics assembly lines, PCB manufacturing, semiconductor fabrication, and similar clean-room or ESD-controlled workspaces where a standard scanner could introduce damaging static charges. The ESD-safe housing dissipates static buildup rather than accumulating it, making it safe to use around sensitive components. Symbol Technologies (later acquired by Motorola Solutions and subsequently Zebra Technologies) produced this line in the late 1990s to meet growing demand for ESD-compliant data capture tools on the production floor. The mini-DIN interface was a common keyboard-wedge or proprietary serial connection used in point-of-sale and industrial terminals of that era.
