in your example, wool clothing and prairie winter ionization makes sense. Smocks would be an improvement to contain the potential of static build up. If you go to dress codes, then you run the risk of having to provide uniforms or pay a laundry allow

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

Hi Some companies invest in full ESD protection. Some even have ESD Officiers / Engineers. Floor, Wrist Straps, Foot Straps, Special Shoes, Log in Books, Ionizers inside machines, etc, and training. These are in addition to just the reel and it's

The gel looks strangely like the stuff coming out of the rear end of little rubber toy pigs I bought for $1. You squeeze the pig and the gel comes out of it's ass, release the pressure and it goes back in... hours of fun! But seriously, this gel must

The most important thing you can do is to maintain the same electrical potential between the ESD-S product, the operator and the worksurface. This is typically achieved through a grounded dissipative worksurface and an operator grounded via a wrist s

What are you cutting at incoming? Meat? It doesn't matter that your troop are using ESD mats and wrist straps. Your proposed cutting board is an insulator. It a BIG piece of plastic. So, it will retain a charge. So when you move to adopting ANSI

Wayne; Several things. 1.check the vendors and see what black oxide they are using are they the same ? It might be that. 2.You should bake your pcbs before the thermal stress is applied. To remove moisture. At your shop. The proce

So would the proper technique be as follows: 1. Grounded operator picks up PCB from ESD rack and attaches a 1meg(wrist strap cord)shunt to ground to a grounding surface on the pcb. 2. operator sprays conformal coating onto pcb using a spr

Advertisements are not always 100% accurate on technical issues. You don't want instand static discharge. A wrist strap with no resistor could cause that. Therefore put in a current limiting resistor to make the charge dissipate slowly. Does anyone
