Mat Ground Cord 4 m with 10 mm Stud, 2 x 4 mm Socket, 1 Megohm, M5 Ring Terminal - Desco 231250

This cord turns the work mat into the grounding hub of an ESD workstation. The 10 mm stud snaps into the 10 mm socket on the mat, while two 4 mm sockets accept the banana plugs of up to two wrist straps. Mat and operators are bonded to the same potential through a single 4 m cord.

Key benefits

• Two jobs in one: the mat and up to two wrist straps share one common ground point.
• 1 megohm current-limiting resistor built into the stud, close to the groundable point.
• 4 m cord length bridges larger distances between bench edge and ground bus.
• M5 ring terminal for a secure screw connection to a ground bus, EBP or earth terminal.

Applications

For ESD workstations with a bench or floor mat where the mat and the operators' wrist straps are to be connected to one ground point, for example in electronics assembly, repair and test areas.

Standards

Placing the resistor at the groundable point follows the IEC 61340-5-1 recommendation for EPA ground cords. Verify the ground path periodically as part of the ESD control program.
