Wrist-Straps and Cords

Grounding Solutions

Effective grounding protects sensitive areas from the damage caused from ESD. Our products are designed to maximise operator performance and safety by using high quality materials and build quality.

Static grounding requirements for operations with large working environments will often require the establishment of ESD protected areas. EPAs are sections of the workspace that are partitioned off from the rest of the facility and specially marked to notify employees and visitors of the potential for electrostatic events.

Importance of wrist straps

The wrist strap is the most used device to ground personnel, it will safely and effectively drain static charges from the body. Wrist straps are critical elements of any ESD Control Environment, as the human body is one of the greatest generators of static charge. Wrist straps are designed to safely ground personnel that are handling ESD Sensitive Devices and should be used when personnel are seated, as per IEC 61340-5-1.

Sometimes known as antistatic wrist straps or ground bracelets, they consist of two elements, a wrist band and ground cord, which can be purchased separately. The band should be worn snugly on the skin and the cord connected to a common ground point such as an Earth Bonding Point Plug or Bracket.
