ESD footwear is vital in ESD Protected Areas (EPAs) as it provides grounding and dissipates static electricity, preventing damage to electronics. Compliance requires meeting strict standards, including daily testing of footwear. Using proper ESD testing equipment ensures safety and minimizes electrostatic risks, essential for protecting sensitive components and ensuring operational success.

The term “ESD Safe” is often misused, lacking the technical clarity needed for effective ESD Control Plans. Proper ESD protection requires understanding ANSI/ESD standards and product specifications.

Mounting an ionizer in an electronics production area can be challenging. Ideally, an ionizer will meet the ESD Protected Area’s performance standards while not interfering with normal activity at the workstation. The ionizer should be pointed directly at the target area where ESD susceptible devices are located. The ionizer’s fan speed can be increased to…

Using snaps has long been the most common way of making a grounding connection (wrist straps, ground cords, etc) in ESD control products, but snaps have some drawbacks. Snaps can be easily unsnapped or damaged, and they are not normally used for making an electrical connections. Desco manufacturers a better design that is more durable and cannot be easily disengaged.

The design used in Desco’s dome style ground cords is made with a 10mm (0.395 in.) male threaded snap. Dome style ground cords are sometimes called a Floor Mat Ground, but they can be used on work benches too. With a screw and washer installed from the backside of the mat, the ground cord can be secured to the mat to reduce the opportunity for the mat to become ungrounded.
