Mat Ground Cord 4 m with 10 mm Socket, 2 x 4 mm Socket, 1 Megohm, 4 mm Banana Plug - Desco 231255

This cord connects a work mat fitted with a 10 mm stud and up to two wrist straps to one common ground point. The 10 mm socket on the cord head snaps onto the mat stud, and the two 4 mm sockets take the banana plugs of the wrist strap cords. At the ground end, a 4 mm banana plug goes into the socket of the earth bonding point.

Key benefits

• Mat and two wrist straps grounded through a single cord.
• 1 megohm current-limiting resistor in the 10 mm socket, right at the groundable point.
• 4 m cord length for workstations where the ground point is further away.
• 4 mm banana plug for tool-free connection to EBPs with 4 mm sockets.

Applications

For ESD benches and floor mats with a 10 mm stud in production, laboratories and service, when the ground point offers 4 mm sockets and the mat and personnel are to be connected together.

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.
