HOW do esd wrist straps work?It's EASY to generate a static charge! Static electricity is generated by the contact and separation of the technician's clothes against their skin or their shoes contacting and separating against flooring as they walk.  A person's skin is moderately conductive allowing the static charge to flow around the human body but to eliminate this charge the skin needs to be continually grounded. Our ESD Wrist Straps feature a conductive strap that makes 360 degree contact with the user's wrist while our heavy duty wrist strap coil cord and hardware insures the static charge is grounded in a fast, efficient and RELIABLE manor.

 

HOW do esd heel straps work?Shoe soles are insulative! Our ESD Heel Straps have a conductive ribbon the tucks into the technician's shoe and makes contact with the skin. The static charge flows from the technician's skin, to the conductive ribbon, around the insulative shoe sole, to the conductive heel strap cup and is grounded by the conductive floor (or esd floor mat). NOTE: It's important to wear a heel strap on each foot! When walking one heel is not touching the grounded floor (or mat) hence the charge needs to be dissipated by the other foot that's making contact.
