ESD Dissipative Mat Kit - Royal Blue - Heat Resistant Soldering Mat with Wrist Strap, Grounding Cable, and Dual Bench (2' x 6' (24" x 72"))

Protection against ESD is required during production, storage, and shipping stages of sensitive electronic components. ESD can damage or cause defects in electronic products, electronic component (such as Surface Mount Device components), and failure in Printed Circuit Boards. ESD-Safety and protection is required across a broad range of industries including electronics, automotive, biotech and pharmaceutical, medical devices, and semiconductors. Damage from ESD during mobile phone repairing is very common. What is ESD? Static, formally referred to as electrostatic charge, arises from excess of electrons on one surface and a deficiency on the other. The imbalance of electrons thus causes an electrical field that is capable of influencing other objects at a distance. The charge will remain in place unless it has a path through which it can flow. It may remain in place for some time and this gives rise to the term "static electricity". The word static simply means the charge cannot be equalized or transferred through electromotive force until there is a decrease in the capacitance between two objects.

• ESD Mats meet the ESD work surface requirements of ANSI/ESD S20.20 and recommendation of ESD S4.1.
• The Top Layer is Dissipative. Resistively of Surface Layer (10 7~10 9 ohms)
• The Bottom Layer is Conductive. Resistivity of Bottom Layer (10 3~10 5 ohms, rattler loss <0.02g/cm2)
• Any built-up static charges dissipate without sudden discharge that can harm the internal structure of silicon circuits.
• Time for Static Dissipation (<0.5S)
• Comes with 10mm snaps installed, a wrist strap, dual bench wrist strap grounding point, and grounding cable.
• Grounding: this material must be properly grounded for optimum electrical performance.
