> 2. Constant wrist strap monitors are ridiculously expensive. No they're value priced!!! Does anyone have a layout/BOM to build their own monitors? | Dave F

...Or how about the wireless wrist straps. Those are a lifesaver. Ok im done now.

We are assigned to set-up an ESD control at a new site. There are a few proposals in mind, they are 1) conductive flooring with heel strap or shoe 2) wrist strap with continuos monitoring 3)the normal wrist strap with the common grounding point. Woul

Comments are: * Strap-testing has its problems. Sure, compliance is a pain in the keester. Yes, straps are only tested a couple of times a day. Ladeda. But, people need to understand and accept the importance of proper process. If they are not c

To try to address the original question, the smocks we use have a pretty healthy wrist band on them that grounds them to your skin. You still need to wear heel straps to ground your body to the floor. Some smocks do not have the wrist bands and those

I worked for a place that built flight boxes for the military and some comercial. As Russ stated, wrist straps were used where they could be used. In areas where they were in the way, i.e. room where they masked and sprayed the boards, they had the

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

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

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

I have often questioned the value of static dissipative coats or smocks. If we have an ESD floor, and are wearing ESD shoes or straps and are using wrist ground straps, what value is there in ESD coats/smocks?????????
