ESD T-Shirt with round neck
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.
Typical applications: Electronics manufacturing and SMT assembly (IEC 61340-5-1, IPC-A-610), semiconductor fabrication and wafer handling (SEMI S1/S2), medical device production (ISO 13485), automotive electronics and PCB testing (IATF 16949, VDA 6.3), aerospace avionics assembly (AS9100), and laboratory environments requiring continuous EPA-compliant operator grounding.
