Fundamental ESD Control Principles – Personnel Grounding

Desco February 17, 2017 0

A fundamental principle of ESD control is to ground conductors including people at ESD protected workstations. Wrist straps are the first line of defense against ESD, the most common personnel grounding device used, and are required to be used if the operator is sitting. The wristband should be worn snug to the skin with its…

Floor Mat Grounds (FMG) are molded at CA1.

We machine the solid portion of our banana and assemble them with a spring at CA1

Coil cords that do not meet our internal quality measures are discarded.

We do not make turnstiles. They are made by Alvardo and paired with X3 and Smartlog testers.

Desco uses a solid stainless steel snap stud in our wrist straps.

All monitors are calibrated to a NIST standard before

These assemblies are used in benchtop ionzers.

Desco moved in a new screw machine last week to our Chino, CA manufacturing location. The new-to-us Brown & Sharpe Ultramatic R/S will take the place of the previous machine that we had been using since the early 1970’s. Yes, we have been making things for that long. The new machine is tight, smooth, and very quiet. It will be used to make proprietary parts used in products such as Desco wrist straps, Menda stainless steel probes and EMIT testers. Desco Industries, Inc. manufactures ESD control products and other production supply products at two UK and six USA factories.

Resistors in Mat Ground Cords

Desco August 21, 2012 0

Using a current limiting resistor in the ground cord is the user’s choice; however, the resistor is not for ESD control purposes. The ESD Association standard for grounding is ANSI/ESD S6.1. ANSI/ESD S6.1 recommends a hard ground (no resistor), but allows the use of a current limiting resistor in the mat’s ground cord. “The grounding…
