An ESD T-shirt is designed to prevent electrostatic discharge, protecting sensitive electronic components from damage.
Why are ESD T-shirts necessary?
ESD T-shirts are necessary to prevent static electricity buildup, especially in environments with sensitive electronic equipment.
How do ESD T-shirts work?
ESD T-shirts work by incorporating conductive fibers that dissipate static electricity, ensuring a static-free environment.
What materials are used in ESD T-shirts?
ESD T-shirts typically use materials with conductive fibers such as carbon or metal threads to neutralize static charges.
Can ESD T-shirts be washed?
Yes, ESD T-shirts can be washed, but it's important to follow specific care instructions to maintain their static-dissipative properties.
Where can I buy ESD T-shirts?
ESD T-shirts can be purchased from specialized retailers or online stores that focus on electrostatic discharge protection.
Are there different styles of ESD T-shirts?
Yes, ESD T-shirts come in various styles, including round neck, to accommodate different preferences and workplace requirements.
ESD T-Shirt with round neck - TEC
ESD T-shirts
ESD crew-neck T-shirts provide a surface resistance of 10ⁱ - 10⁹ Ω and a body-to-ground resistance < 3.5 x 10⁷ Ω, meeting the requirements of IEC 61340-5-1 for EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) garments. Conductive fibres - typically carbon-core or stainless-steel-yarn grids with a typical pitch of 5-10 mm - are woven directly into the fabric, ensuring charge dissipation without separate grounding straps. Unlike standard workwear, certified ESD T-shirts prevent triboelectric charge generation even during continuous arm and torso movement on SMT lines, where electrostatic events of > 100 V can destroy ESDS components rated at HBM Class 1 (< 250 V sensitivity).
esd.equipment supplies 106 ESD crew-neck T-shirts from leading garment manufacturers, all tested and documented in accordance with IEC 61340-5-1 and DIN EN 61340-5-2. Each product in this category ships with a declaration of conformity, and periodic re-testing intervals are specified per EN 61340-5-2 to maintain EPA compliance throughout the garment lifecycle.
