Can anti-static ankle straps replace anti-static shoes?
The anti-static ankle strap is a device worn on the foot or on the upper to release the electrostatic charge accumulated by the human body. It can be used in general electronics factories, medicine, aerospace, precision machinery and other industries.
Since the anti-static ankle strap is so effective, some people may ask whether it can be used instead of anti-static shoes. The answer is no, because the anti-static ankle strap cannot guarantee normal operation at any time, so it cannot guarantee the real-time release of static electricity generated by the body when the contact is not good. In contrast, anti-static shoes are more stable. In environments with high requirements for static electricity, anti-static ankle straps cannot replace anti-static shoes.
The anti-static ankle strap leads the static electricity of the human body to the ground through the wrist strap and the grounding wire. When in use, the wrist strap should be in contact with the skin, and the grounding wire should be directly grounded for maximum effect. When using electrostatic tendon straps, both feet should be worn at the same time to increase the contact time between the tendon straps and the ground, thereby reducing the possibility of static electricity causing harm to the human body.
Anti-static products have their own functions, and sometimes it is better to use them together.
