Anti Static Bracelet

What is anti static bracelet？How to use it ?

An anti-static bracelet, also known as an ESD wrist strap, is a device used to safely discharge static electricity from your body to prevent damage to sensitive electronic components, such as computer chips or circuit boards.

 What is an Anti-Static Bracelet?

• It’s usually made of conductive material like carbon fiber or stainless steel threads woven into a strap.

• One end is worn on your wrist, the other is connected to a grounding point—like an ESD mat or a grounded socket.

• It helps keep your body at the same electrical potential as the equipment you're working on, preventing Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

 How to Use It?

1. Wear the Strap Properly

• Put the bracelet directly against your skin on your wrist (no sleeve in between).

• Make sure it's snug but not too tight.

2. Connect the Grounding Cord

• Plug the grounding cord into a grounded outlet, ESD mat, or grounding point on your workstation.

• Some straps clip directly to a metal chassis if that’s grounded.

3. Stay Grounded While Working

• The strap only works while you’re connected.

• Avoid disconnecting it during work on static-sensitive parts.

 Tips:

• Always test your wrist strap before use with an ESD tester.

• Replace damaged straps or cords.

• In critical environments (like cleanrooms), use disposable or certified wrist straps.

If you're working with electronics often, an anti-static bracelet is a small investment that can save you from costly static-related failures.
