ESD Work-station
Work-station Components
7. Heel Straps
A device for
connecting a
walking or
standing person
to ground by
using the
moisture in the
shoe as a body
connection and
a conductive
rubber tread as
a connection to
a grounded mat
or floor.
6. ESD Awareness Sign
A sign that provides
warning text and symbol
to indicate special static
control precautions are
required in the area.
5. Floor Mat
Ground Cord
A cable and
connector that
connect a floor
mat to ground.
4. Floor Mat
A walking surface that
dissipates static
charge from
conductive items
placed on it.
3.
Wrist Strap
A two-part device
including a wristband
and a coil cord that
connects a person’s
skin to ground.
2.
Common
Ground Cord
A cable and
connector that
connect a table
mat and one or
two wrist straps
to ground.
1.
Table Mat
A work surface
that dissipates
static from
conductive items
placed on it.
Air Ionizer
An Air Ionizer is an optional piece of equipment for the ESD Work-station and is
costly, but will give you the added protection you need. Nonconductive
materials, such as plastic and synthetic fabrics, cannot be grounded. Only
ionized air can neutralize their static charge. The air ionizer should be turned on
immediately after the wrist strap is attached. If you are applying or removing
pressure sensitive tape, do so directly under the blower, using a slow, steady
motion.
Constant Monitor
An electronic device that continuously
checks the connections of the coil cord,
wristband and person.
