Can the anti-static rubber be fixed with screws?


First of all, we need to be clear that in some cases, even if the anti-static rubber is not fixed, for example, the rack is completely metal and has a conductive grounding wire. In this case, even if it is just spreading the anti-static rubber It is also possible not to carry out any form of fixing on the shelf.


In general, in order to ensure good contact between the anti-static rubber and the copper foil tape affixed to the bottom, we will provide customers with strong double-sided tape to fix the four sides and center line of the anti-static rubber. Sometimes to ensure the bonding strength, Customers are recommended to use anti-static glue for laying.

As for fixing with screws, we have also encountered such a situation. A customer used a screw to penetrate the anti-static rubber and screw it on the wooden shelf of the shelf, and wind a ground wire around the screw to ensure conduction, although there is no problem. However, it is generally not recommended to do this, because it is likely to become loose or rust over time, and may not know when it will no longer conduct. Even if it is fixed with screws, it is best not to wrap the grounding wire around the screws. Instead, use a special anti-static grounding buckle, which can cover the exposed metal parts to avoid potential safety hazards when contacted by personnel.
