Elastic Wrist Strap with 2 m Coiled Cord, 4 mm Stud, 4 mm Plug, Dark Blue - Desco 229986

A wrist strap that is ready to use out of the bag: elastic band in dark blue and yellow coiled cord come together. Conductive fibres on the inside make skin contact below 1 x 10⁵ ohms without any metal touching the skin. The 1 megohm resistor in the cord limits the current through the body in a fault.

Key benefits

• No metal against the skin, suitable for skin allergies.
• Interior Rs below 1 x 10⁵ ohms, exterior above 1 x 10⁷ ohms, tested per ANSI/ESD S1.1 (5.2).
• Circumference widely adjustable from 120 to 200 mm.
• 2 m coiled cord with a 1 megohm current-limiting resistor built into the socket.
• 4 mm banana plug at the ground end, quick and secure in any 4 mm jack at the ground point.

Applications

Personnel grounding at seated ESD workstations in electronics assembly, repair, test and laboratories. Connect the cord to an earth bonding point (EBP), never clip it to the edge of a mat.

Standards

The 1 megohm resistor in the cord meets the IEC 61340-5-1 personnel grounding requirements, tested per ANSI/ESD S1.1. Test the complete system of person, band and cord regularly, ideally at the start of each shift with a wrist strap tester.
