ESD Anti-static wrist straps should be tested regularly
Anti-static wrist straps are the most basic anti-static equipment and are also a must-have on commonly used electronic production lines. They consist of a wrist strap and a grounding wire, and are compact and convenient in design. But while being convenient, you should also pay attention to regular testing.
Anti-static wrist straps are an important component of the anti-static system for eliminating human body static electricity, which can eliminate or control the occurrence of human body static electricity, thereby reducing the static electricity generated during the production process. But like anti-static clothing, anti-static wrist straps are not permanent. Because when wearing a wrist strap for production work, the wire of the wrist strap will bend continuously due to activities, and long-term accumulation will cause the copper foil wire in the wrist strap wire to break, which will directly cause the wrist strap function to fail.
Therefore, companies need to test anti-static wrist straps regularly to ensure that the anti-static performance of the anti-static wrist strap is not affected. Users should use a wrist strap tester to test whether the wrist strap function is normal before use to avoid irreparable losses due to improper use.
