What is Anti-static Wristband ? how to use it ?
An anti-static wristband, also known as an ESD wrist strap, is a device designed to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) by safely grounding a person. It's commonly used when handling sensitive electronic components, such as computer parts, circuit boards, and semiconductors.
What Is It?
An anti-static wristband is typically made of an elastic conductive band (often with metal or carbon fibers) worn around the wrist. It's connected to a grounding cord that plugs into a ground source, such as:
A grounded ESD mat
A grounded workstation
A 3-prong wall outlet (grounded plug)
How to Use It?
Wear the Band
Wrap it snugly around your wrist.
Ensure it makes direct contact with your skin, not over clothing.
Connect the Cord
Attach the grounding cord to the wristband.
Clip or plug the other end to a grounded surface.
Start Working
Once grounded, your body’s static charge is neutralized.
You can safely handle static-sensitive devices.
Tips
Always test the wristband with an ESD tester if available.
Don’t forget to ground your work surface (like using an ESD mat).
Avoid wearing the band over long sleeves—direct skin contact is necessary.
