We offer effective and comfortable antistatic straps in two types: ESD heel grounders and antistatic wrist straps. You can choose between disposable and reusable antistatic straps. These products have been designed to provide the most effective possible dissipation of electrostatic charges. We offer both complete ESD strap sets with cords and models supplied without additional wiring.
How does an antistatic strap work?
An antistatic strap is one of the most important elements of effective personal protection within an EPA. It is a safe and efficient way to dissipate electrostatic charges from the human body. The strap should, of course, be connected with a copper cord to ground or to an earth bonding point (EBP). Using an ESD strap helps prevent damage caused by sudden electrostatic discharge. Our antistatic straps are equipped with a 1 MOhm resistor.
How to use an antistatic strap?
Antistatic straps are a key element of an employee’s personal ESD protection, which is why it is so important to use them correctly and with all necessary precautions. An ESD strap worn by the operator creates a resistance path through a direct connection via a copper cord to ground or to an earth bonding point (EBP). Slow discharge helps prevent damage caused by sudden electrostatic discharge, that is, a rapid change in the amount of electrostatic charge. Dissipating these charges protects components against damage caused by static electricity. Our products have been designed to ensure the most effective possible dissipation of electrostatic charges.
Who needs an ESD strap?
What exactly are we protecting against? Put simply, ESD (electrostatic discharge) is a physical phenomenon that occurs naturally and is defined as the transfer of charges between objects with different electrical potentials. It is most commonly observed when two materials rub against each other.
An ESD strap is essential for everyone working with electronic equipment and in all environments where the main risk is associated with static electricity, that is, ESD.
Our store offers a wide selection of different types of antistatic straps:
ESD heel grounders
Antistatic wrist straps
Another option is to choose between reusable and disposable straps. We also offer ESD straps as complete sets with cords, as well as models supplied without additional wiring.
