ESD Product Guide

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) floor mats work by safely dissipating static electricity from individuals and equipment to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components. They achieve this through the following mechanisms:

1. Conductive or Static-Dissipative Materials – These mats are made from materials that either conduct or gradually dissipate static electricity. Conductive mats allow electricity to flow quickly, while dissipative mats control the discharge at a slower, safer rate.
2. Grounding Mechanism – ESD mats are connected to the ground via a grounding cord, which directs static charges away from personnel and equipment, preventing accidental electrostatic discharges.
3. Use with ESD Footwear or Heel Straps – For full protection, workers often wear ESD footwear or heel straps that maintain contact with the mat, ensuring continuous grounding while they move.
4. Layered Construction – Many ESD mats have multiple layers, including a conductive bottom layer that enhances grounding and a top dissipative layer that provides controlled static reduction.

By using ESD floor mats in electronics manufacturing, repair, and cleanroom environments, businesses can prevent costly damage to sensitive components and ensure compliance with electrostatic discharge safety standards.

ESD heel grounders safely discharge static electricity by connecting the wearer to an ESD floor. A conductive strap inside the shoe contacts the skin, directing static to the ground. Ideal for electronics manufacturing, they ensure mobility while preventing electrostatic damage.

The Floor Mat Grounding Wire serves as a critical link between the male stud on the ESD mat and the Earth Bonding Plug. This connection directs static electricity safely to the ground, preventing electrostatic discharge and ensuring a controlled ESD-safe environment.

The Earth Bonding Plug connects to a standard wall socket and serves as the grounding point for ESD protection. It links to the Floor Mat Grounding Wire via a stud, allowing static electricity to safely dissipate. Available in UK and European versions, it ensures compliance with regional electrical standards.

ESD bench mats prevent electrostatic discharge by providing a controlled path for static electricity to safely dissipate. This protects both the user and sensitive electronic components from damage.

• Benchstat – ESD matting with a buried conductive layer for reliable static dissipation.

• HR Matting – Premium ESD matting with a buried conductive layer, offering superior durability and protection.

Both ensure a static-safe workspace for electronics assembly and repair.

Grounding wristbands are used to safely discharge static electricity from the user to the ground, preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to sensitive components.

The wristband is connected to a coil cord, which then links to an ESD-safe surface or grounding point. This ensures continuous grounding as the user works, providing protection for both the individual and any electronic devices they handle.

ESD coil cords are designed to provide flexibility and mobility while ensuring continuous grounding for users working in static-sensitive environments.

The coil cord attaches the wristband to the Common Point Ground Wire, allowing static electricity to safely dissipate to the ground. The coiled design provides tension, allowing for easy movement without compromising the grounding connection. This ensures static protection while maintaining the freedom to move within the workspace.

The Common Point Grounding Wire is essential for ensuring proper static discharge in an ESD-safe environment. It connects the bench mat to the Earth Bonding Plug, providing a direct path for static electricity to be safely grounded. This connection ensures that all grounded components, including mats, wristbands, and other ESD equipment, share a common ground, effectively preventing electrostatic buildup and protecting sensitive electronics.

The Earth Bonding Plug is used to connect your ESD system to a safe grounding point. It fits into a standard wall socket and links the floor mat grounding wire via a stud, providing a pathway for static electricity to safely discharge to the ground.

• UK Earth Bonding Plug – Designed to fit UK electrical sockets, ensuring proper grounding.
• European Earth Bonding Plug – Compatible with European electrical standards, providing reliable grounding.

Both plugs ensure effective static control, safeguarding sensitive electronics and users in ESD-sensitive environments.
