Does the anti-static table mat have to be grounded?
I often encounter customers asking: Does the anti-static table mat purchased by our company need to be grounded on the table? If it is to be grounded, what wire should be used to connect it? I also asked whether our company can provide this kind of grounding wire-anti-static grounding wire. It seems that customers still pay more attention to static electricity and realize that static electricity needs a way to release it.
The principle of electrostatic grounding wire is mainly used for the connection between the grounding sockets of the anti-static table mat, which can effectively discharge the static electricity generated by the human body or the table mat to the ground during production work. The anti-static grounding wire is made of, and the electrostatic grounding wire and grounding wire components include polyurethane straight or curved lines. The surface layer of the anti-static platform pad is not an insulating layer, and it meets the anti-static index. It can be connected to the ground wire through an embedded grounding buckle.
How to ground the anti-static table mat
1. Lay the anti-static table mat on the workbench, and then install the anti-static grounding wire on the upper right corner of the workbench
2. Make a small cut on the table mat, and insert the star claw part of the grounding wire. The star claw must be fastened to the anti-static table mat;
3. Clamp the ESD ground bus with the fish clip at the other end of the ESD ground wire;
4. Measure whether the anti-static grounding wire, anti-static table pad and the earth are connected, and the test is passed, that is, the anti-static grounding device is basically completed. Answer: If your anti-static table is grounded, from an anti-static point of view, you no longer need an anti-static pad. If an anti-static mat is laid for other considerations, the mat itself does not need to be grounded. Because the mat body is a good conductor, the static electricity generated on it will be discharged through contact with the desktop. The anti-static table mat must be grounded, otherwise the anti-static effect will be lost.
