iFixit Anti-Static Wrist Strap
Prevent electrostatic damage.
- Helps protect your electronics from accidental electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage during repairs.
- Ground yourself while working on sensitive electronics to prevent static charge build-up.
- Turn your desk into a complete ESD-Safe workstation by attaching the included grounding clip to this 50cm x60cm anti-static mat.
- Custom manufactured by iFixit for "American" sized wrists, but plenty big enough for all but the very largest of Aussies too. Most anti-static wrist straps are made for use in manufacturing throughout Asia, and do not pass their ergonomics test, if they fit at all!
"Rapid static dissipation by a wrist strap ground is required to prevent voltage spikes. Simple movements such as lifting one foot off the floor or raising one arm from a conductive table mat may change body capacitance by as much as 10% to 30%. Uncontrolled, the capacitively created voltage may reach several hundred volts or more."
