Thorlabs' ESD Static Control 2' x 4' Table Mat provides a static dissipative surface to protect sensitive electronic components from damaging electrostatic discharge. This heavy-duty mat has a static charge decay time of <2 seconds, ensuring protection under extreme conditions, and includes a grounding wire and grounding wrist strap. The grounding wire snaps onto the ESD mat, and can be grounded using an included alligator clip. The grounding wrist strap can either interface with the grounding wire via a banana connector or be grounded using an included alligator clip.

Thorlabs offers other grounding wrist straps, sold below, compatible with the ESD table mat.

• Removes Static Charges When Handling Static-Sensitive Devices

Thorlabs' Grounding Wrist Straps safely remove static charges from individuals who handle laser diodes, amplified photodetectors, and other static-sensitive devices. The ground wire has a built-in 1 MΩ resistor for user safety, and the strap works with our ESD Table Mat (sold above) to protect against electrostatic discharge. Each wrist strap features a banana connector that interfaces with an included alligator clip. The WS01 premium expandable metal band is flexible, durable, and comfortable, allowing for extended use. It features a 12' long grounding cord, and has a relaxed (i.e., not stretched) circumference of 6". The WS02 fabric strap includes a 6' coiled cord. Please note that the color of the cord and wrist strap may vary from lot to lot.
