ESD Mat Ground Cords

 Ground Cables and Ground Blocks for ESD Bench Mats

Ground Cords for ESD Floor Mats

esd matting: cable attached to AC electrical face plate coverIn order to operate effectively all anti static mats must be attached to a reliable ground connection. UltraStrong Ground Cords are an integral component of your ESD mat's performance. Our ground cords come individually prepackaged for secure deployment and contain our universal mat snap kit should your mat not have the appropriate snap already installed. Many clients ground their ESD mats and common point grounds to the center screw of a tested AC electrical face plate.

Note: Electrical outlets are easy to test using our GT-4872 ground circuit tester

Note: Mats should NEVER be daisy chained.

Note: Wrist straps should NEVER be alligator clipped to the mat.

Note: Wrist straps and smocks should ALWAYS be grounded to the same location as the ESD Mat.

Beveled Hooded ESD Ground Cord for ESD Floor Mats

ESD floor mat ground cord

Beveled Hooded ESD Mat Ground Cord, 3/8" male snap, 15' cable. FREE universal mat snap kit included with each unit!

 

In order to operate effectively all anti static floor mats must be attached to a reliable earth ground connection. Why? During the walking cycle, user induced static charges simply sit on the mats surface. Depending on the conductivity of the matting these charges can be substantial (often in the 1,500 to 3,500 volt range).

115-AS Floor Mat Ground Cords are Fully Compliant to the Latest Standards!

This voltage is low enough that a Technician will not feel the charge but high enough to compromise unprotected static sensitive items. Items that are in a protected status, (e.g. in the final enclosure or in a static control bag) are not as sensitive to voltages in this range but why take chances with voltage suppression? UltraStrong floor mat ground cords are an integral component of your ESD floor mat - allowing easy placement (anywhere on the mat). The 115-AS comes complete with the easy to install male 3/8 snap for the subsequent attachment of the ground cord to the ESD control floor mat. Note: Attach the #10 ring terminal to a reliable common point ground in your building. Each mat requires an attachment to electrical ground. Mats should never be daisy chained.

  • Easy to install on ANY anti-static or ESD control floor mat

  • Generous 15' cable, 3/8" (10 mm) fastener

  • Beveled fastener hood reduces tripping hazards

  • Individually packaged for secure deployment

  • Contains 1 meg safety resistor

  • Use with or without our free universal mat snap kit

  • Download Data Sheet for the 115-AS.
