FR0511 ESD Ground Cord

The FR0511 ESD Ground Cord is a vital accessory for creating a reliable grounding system in static-sensitive environments. Designed for flexibility and durability, this cord ensures effective dissipation of static electricity, protecting sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).


Key Features:

1. Effective Static Control:

  • Provides a low-resistance path to ground, ensuring consistent and safe discharge of static electricity.
  • Complies with industry standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20 and EN 61340-5-1, offering reliable performance in ESD-protected areas.

2. Durable and Flexible Design:

  • Constructed with a high-quality insulated outer jacket, protecting the inner conductive wire from wear and damage.
  • Resistant to environmental factors such as moisture and abrasion, ensuring long-term durability.

3. Universal Compatibility:

  • Equipped with standard banana plugs, snap connectors (10 mm), or alligator clips, making it compatible with a wide range of ESD workstations, wrist straps, and equipment.
  • Suitable for grounding mats, benches, and other ESD-safe tools and surfaces.

4. Integrated Safety Resistor:

  • Includes a 1 MΩ safety resistor in the grounding circuit to control the discharge rate and protect personnel from electrical surges.

5. Various Length Options:

  • Available in multiple lengths (e.g., 1.8 m, 3 m, or custom sizes) to accommodate different workstation setups and grounding needs.

6. Cleanroom-Compatible:

  • Made from low-shedding materials, suitable for cleanroom environments ranging from Class 100 to Class 10,000.

Applications:

  • Electronics Manufacturing: Safeguards sensitive components like PCBs and microchips during assembly and testing.
  • ESD Workstations: Grounds wrist straps, mats, and equipment to ensure a static-free workspace.
  • Repair and Maintenance: Provides grounding for technicians working on ESD-sensitive devices.
  • Cleanrooms: Maintains cleanliness and static control in contamination-sensitive environments.
  • Laboratories and Testing Facilities: Grounds personnel and tools during calibration and testing of electronics.

Benefits:

  1. Reliable Grounding: Ensures effective dissipation of static electricity, preventing damage to ESD-sensitive items.
  2. Durability: High-quality materials offer resistance to wear and environmental stress.
  3. Ease of Use: Standard connectors and various lengths make setup quick and simple.
  4. Safety: Integrated resistor ensures user protection from electrical surges.
  5. Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of ESD tools and equipment.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Inspection:
    • Regularly check the cord for signs of damage, such as fraying or broken connectors.
  2. Cleaning:
    • Wipe the cord with a clean, dry cloth or an ESD-safe cleaner to remove dirt and maintain conductivity.
  3. Testing:
    • Periodically test the cord using an ESD tester to verify proper grounding performance.
  4. Replacement:
    • Replace the cord if it shows signs of wear or fails to meet grounding standards.
