Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use an anti-static wrist strap (also known as an ESD wrist strap) to safely discharge static electricity when handling sensitive electronics:

 How to Use an Anti-Static Wrist Strap ?

1. Wear the Strap on Bare Skin

• Place the wrist strap around your wrist, ensuring that the conductive inner side touches your bare skin (not over clothes).

• It should fit snugly, but not so tight that it's uncomfortable.

2. Connect the Cord

• Attach the coiled grounding wire to the snap on the wrist strap.

• Most straps use a metal button or snap for this connection.

3. Ground the Strap

• Clip or plug the other end of the cord to a grounded object, such as:

• A grounding plug inserted into a properly grounded outlet

• An ESD-safe mat (which itself must be grounded)

• A computer case chassis (if the power supply is plugged in but turned off)

4. Start Working

• Once connected, you’re safe to handle electronic components like motherboards, RAM, CPUs, etc.

• The wrist strap discharges any static from your body safely to ground.

After Use

• Unclip the strap from the grounding point.

• Remove it from your wrist.

• Store in a dry, dust-free place (ideally in an anti-static bag).

 Important Tips

• ❗ Always touch the skin — wearing it over sleeves makes it ineffective.

• ✅ Test the strap occasionally with a wrist strap tester.

• ❌ Never use the strap if the cord is damaged or frayed.

• ✅ Only clip to a verified ground, not just any metal surface.
