ESD Wrist Strap

An ESD wrist strap is a safety device used to prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive electronic components. It consists of a strap worn around the wrist connected to a grounding point through a resistor, allowing any built-up static charge to safely discharge into the ground. This ensures that static electricity doesn’t transfer to delicate parts, reducing the risk of damage during handling or assembly. The strap is essential in electronics manufacturing and repair to maintain a static-free environment and protect high-tech devices from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
