Earthing Grounding Bracelet
- Information
- Description:
- Earthing Grounding Bracelet, are used to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) by safely grounding a person working with electronic equipments or at an electronic assembly facility. It consists of a band of fabric with fine conductive fibers woven into it. The fibers are usually made of carbon or carbon-filled rubber, and the strap is bound with a stainless steel clasp or plate. They are usually used in conjunction with an ESD table mat on the workbench, or a special static-dissipating plastic laminate on the workbench surface.

- How does an anti static wrist strap work?
- Skin contacts with conductive material on the wrist strap. Static charges building up on body are discharged to the earth through the earth system.

Using an Earthing Grounding Bracelet (also known as an ESD wrist strap or grounding bracelet) is crucial for protecting electronic components and ensuring safety in electrostatic-sensitive environments.
Why You Need to Use an Earthing Grounding Bracelet ?
1. Prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Damage
Your body naturally builds up static electricity — even just by walking or rubbing your clothes.
When you touch a sensitive electronic component (like a microchip or circuit board), this static can discharge and destroy or degrade the component.
A grounding bracelet safely channels this charge away from your body to the ground.
2. Maintain Equal Potential
By grounding yourself, you and your equipment are at the same electrical potential, so there's no sudden charge transfer.
This is especially critical when assembling, repairing, or handling electronic devices.
3. Protect High-Value Equipment
Many industries use grounding straps when working on:
Smartphones and laptops
Semiconductors
PCBs and processors
Medical equipment
Aerospace and defense electronics
4. Safety in the Workplace
ESD safety is often part of industry compliance standards (like ANSI/ESD S20.20).
Using a grounding bracelet helps meet ESD-safe workspace requirements.
How It Works ?
The bracelet is worn snugly on your wrist, making direct contact with your skin.
It’s connected by a coil cord to a ground point (such as an ESD mat or grounded outlet).
The bracelet safely drains static electricity from your body before it can reach any components.
Quick Tip:
Wearing a grounding bracelet is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to protect delicate electronics from damage — and it's standard practice in any ESD-safe workstation.
