Ground Bracelet




The necessity for a grounding bracelet or grounding strap became clear with the development of the Electronic Industry as Electronic Device s are very sensitive to static discharges. Some devices, such as CMOS components, can be easily destroyed during a static electricity Discharge . Therefore, it became very important for the people working on such devices or Circuits not to build-up large amounts of static electricity. The grounding bracelet or grounding strap helps to dissipate the electrostatic potential between the human and the surrounding environment, thereby lowering the chance of a static discharge between the human and the component.

Also in use for the same purpose is a ground mat.
