Providing lot traceability to ensure quality control.
- UL Listed
Meets UL & OSHA requirements to ensure operator safety.
- Made in the United States of America
Coil Cord
- Superior Strain Relief Tests In Excess Of 1,000,000 Cycles**; Over 62 Times The Minimum Requirement Per ESD S1.1
Eliminates intermittent failures that occur with less durable cords extending the lifespan of the wrist strap.
- Contoured Spring Supported Banana Plug (US Patent# 5951337)
Prevents unnecessary wear to banana spring that will lead to accidental disconnects from banana jacks.
- Low Profile Snap Design
Keeps cord from being disconnected or getting in the way of operator’s work area.
- Twelve Foot Working Radius (18 Inches Of Nonextended Coils) Coil Cord Allows operator to move freely within work area.
- One Megohm Series Resistor
To protect operator from accidental contact with equipment line voltage.
- UL listed
Independent review of the adequacy of the product's design.
- Date Coded
Provided so that the lifespan of the product may tracked and to ensure quality control.
- Made in the United States of America
What the ESD Association says about testing wrist straps:
Per ESD Handbook TR20.20 section 5.3.9.1 Wrist Strap Checkers - “Wrist strap checkers have historically been the primary tool for testing the operation of the wrist strap system including, the wristband, grounding cord and most importantly, the electrical integrity of the contact between the wristband and the wearer. Wrist strap checkers measure the resistance of the entire system.”
Circumference - 2.5" - 13"
NOTE: All bands have a 4mm snap stud. Complete wrist strap kits include an alligator clip. Wrist strap kits include an alligator clip for occasions when a grounded banana jack is not available. However, best industry practice is that ESD Ground Connections should be firm fitting connecting devices such as metallic crimps, snaps and banana plugs to be connected to designated ground points. Use of alligator clips is not recommended. (Ref: JEDEC Standard No. 625-A)
ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.2.1 Personnel Grounding Requirement "All personnel shall be bonded or electrically connected to ground or contrived ground when handling ESD sensitive items. When personnel are seated at ESD protective workstations, they shall be connected to the common point via a wrist strap system."
