ESD wristbands

An ESD wrist strap - also known as an ESD wrist strap, ESD wrist grounding strap or antistatic strap - is used to ground a person and dissipate electrostatic charges in their body in a controlled manner. Such controlled discharges are intended to prevent uncontrolled electrostatic discharges. This is because such uncontrolled discharges can damage sensitive circuits. The ESD wristbands or antistatic wristbands are available both as textile grounding wristbands and as metal wristbands and offer a high level of wearing comfort as well as reliable dissipation of static electricity.

Areas of application

ESD wristbands are used wherever electrostatic discharges can be harmful. An ESD wrist strap is essential when assembling circuit boards and other electrostatically sensitive components and when handling highly flammable substances. The antistatic strap is the safest form of personal earthing in the context of ESD protection. As a rule, ESD wristbands are used at permanently installed ESD workstations.
