Electrostatic ankle straps cannot be used in place of anti-static shoes
Recently, some customers have purchased anti-static ankle straps from our company. It is a device that is worn on the feet or on the upper surface to vent the accumulated electrostatic charge of the human body. It can be used in general electronics, medicine, aerospace, precision. Machinery and other industries.
The antistatic wrist strap guides the static electricity of the human body to the ground through the wrist strap and the grounding wire. In use, the wrist strap is in contact with the skin and the ground wire is grounded directly for maximum effectiveness. When using the electrostatic foot band, wear both feet at the same time to increase the contact time between the tendon band and the ground, thus reducing the possibility of electrostatic hazard in the human body.
Since anti-static ankles have such a large effect, some people may ask if it can be used instead of anti-static shoes. the answer is negative. Because the anti-static ankle strap does not ensure normal operation at any time, there will be a bad contact, and it is not guaranteed to release the static electricity generated by the body in real time. In contrast, anti-static shoes are more stable. If the static electricity requirements are high, the anti-static ankle strap can not replace the anti-static shoes.
Anti-static products have their own functions, and sometimes they work better together. However, if they are used as substitutes for other anti-static products, you should consider them carefully and act with caution.
