EBP Bar with 2 x 10 mm Stud and 1 x 4 mm Plug Socket, Grey, 3 m Ground Cord - Desco 231288

This EBP bar combines 10 mm stud and 4 mm banana plug connections at one common ground point. A typical setup uses the studs for the bench mat and a trolley and the 4 mm socket for the wrist strap coiled cord. Every connector is grounded through its own 1 megohm resistor, which keeps the fault current below 0.3 mA at 240 V should part of the workstation become live.

Key benefits

• Mixed connectors: 2 x 10 mm stud and 1 x 4 mm socket on one bar.
• One 1 megohm, 1/2 W resistor per connector, withstands 500 V DC for 6 minutes.
• Mounts under a bench top or shelf with two M5 pan-head screws (12 mm minimum, included).
• 3 m black ground cord with strain relief, right-hand exit, spare ring terminal for shortening.

Applications

Mount on the bench edge within reach of all ground cords, but where it will not be knocked or get in the operator's way. Connect the cord to a suitable earth.

Standards

The bar serves as a common connection point per IEC 61340-5-1, bringing personnel and ESD control items to the same potential.
