FR1501 Anti Static Beige Finger Cot

ESD Finger Cot – Description

ESD Finger Cots are anti-static protective coverings worn on the fingers to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) when handling sensitive electronic components, circuit boards, or cleanroom materials. Made from conductive or dissipative materials, they provide a convenient way to protect both the product and the user without requiring full gloves.

They are widely used in electronics assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and cleanroom environments where ESD control is critical.

Key Features

• Anti-static protection: Designed to safely dissipate static electricity from fingertips

• Material options: Available in conductive, static dissipative, or nitrile-based versions depending on required resistance levels

• Powder-free and latex-free options: Suitable for cleanrooms and environments sensitive to contamination or allergies

• Snug fit: Provides tactile sensitivity and dexterity for precision work

• Rolled or unrolled edges: Rolled edges improve fit and prevent slipping; unrolled options reduce pressure

• Color-coded resistance: Some types are color-coded (e.g., pink, black) to indicate ESD properties

• Disposable or reusable: Typically disposable, but some versions are reusable in clean environments

Common Applications

• Electronics assembly and repair: Protects PCBs and microchips from ESD damage during handling

• Cleanroom operations: Prevents contamination and static build-up in sterile environments

• Semiconductor fabrication: Protects wafers and chips from particles and electrostatic charges

• Medical device handling: Used when static control is needed during inspection or packaging of medical components

• Quality control and inspection: Offers precise handling of delicate components under magnification or during testing

Benefits

• Prevents ESD damage: Essential protection for sensitive electronics and precision instruments

• Maintains tactile sensitivity: Better touch feel compared to full gloves, perfect for fine-detail tasks

• Improves cleanliness: Minimizes contamination from skin oils, sweat, or particles

• Cost-effective: Inexpensive solution for short-term or task-specific static control

• Easy to wear and remove: Quick on/off application makes them ideal for intermittent use throughout the day

• Cleanroom compatible: Available in low-particulate, non-shedding materials suitable for ISO cleanroom classes
