Conductive Wrist Straps
Vital ESD Protection

As microelectronic components have become smaller and more sophisticated, the danger of their being damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) has become proportionally greater. Even very small charges—so small that an operator may not even notice them!—can seriously degrade or destroy many static-sensitive devices.

Making sure that operators are electrically discharged before they begin handling and assembly procedures isn’t enough to assure product safety. Even the slightest movements, such as shifting in a seat, can cause the regeneration of potentially disastrous charges. As a result, it has become crucial to provide proper grounding for operators at every manufacturing and packaging stage.

Conductive wrist straps provide the most reliable, economical safeguard against this regeneration of electrostatic charge. Because they maintain a continuous path to ground, they should be an integral part of the microelectronics work station. Terra offers a complete line to suit applications in even the cleanest environment.
