You are correct. The resistors are for personal safety. However, I don't think that bench top or floor mats require a 1MO current-limiting resistor. This would be necessary if a wrist strap was being used. The mats we use do have a 1MO resistor o

This may have been asked, but what ESD protection does your facility already have? With proper techniques and equipment, this should be a non-issue. As long as folks aren't using the pcb's to comb through their hair, you don't have to worry about i

Just have everyone where a smock. Seems to do little for ESD but everyone buys into it. Finger cots will add more flare as well. Wet concrete works the best for flooring, but seems to have a tendency to dry, thus losing it conductivity. Therefore

A company I used to work for did not use wrist straps in some areas for the same reason. We had a conductive floor (not dissipative wax) and ESD shoes and heel straps that we tested three times a day. If you can ensure that feet are always on the fl

Stephen, This link was also in my earlier post. "The wrist strap cord has a current-limiting resistor for personnel safety." http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/pkginfo/Ch_06.pdf

Use where operators need to move frquently, say around process machiney, like placement or wave solder machines 2) wrist strap with continuos monitoring => => Use where operators don't move much and the potential to damage product is high, like a han

Nuez, I don't really see how it's a problem. If your not using a wrist strap, there's no grounding issue. It will work fine as is, equipment insulated or not. The "conductive" mats have many mega-ohms of resistance as it is. Simply "bypassing" t
