ESD Grounding
As per ANSI / ESD 6.1 of ESD Association Standard Practice for the Protection of Electrostatic Discharge Susceptible Items, The single most important concept in the field of static control is grounding. Attaching all electrically conductive and dissipative items in the workplace to ground allows built-up electrostatic charges to equalize with ground potential. A grounded conductor cannot hold a static charge.
Therefore, ESD Grounding products including ESD Leads and Cords, Service & Workstation Kits, Foot Grounders, Grounding Plugs and Points and Antistatic Wrist Straps are the primary articles to set up a proper ESD protected area (EPA).
These articles are the main path and accessories to discharge the generated electrons in the facilities to the grounding points preventing both the operators from the threat of harmful discharges as well as highly sensitive components and devices from visible or hidden damages.
