Static-Control Wrist Strap Tester

The Pomona Electronics 6086 verifies that an operator's wrist strap and ground cord maintain a safe resistance path. It serves technicians and assemblers who must confirm ESD compliance before handling sensitive components. The touch-type, on-demand design delivers an immediate pass or fail indication without continuous monitoring overhead.

Touch-Type Operation and Ground Point

A single contact pad activates the test cycle, so the user simply touches the surface while wearing the strap. The unit also provides a dedicated ground point, allowing the cord to stay connected for continuous protection during extended work sessions. This arrangement reduces wear on connectors and keeps the bench tidy by eliminating loose leads.

Verify Cord Compatibility and Power Source

Confirm that the wrist-strap cord terminates in a connector accepted by the tester's ground-point interface. The device requires an external power source to operate; check that your bench supply or outlet matches the unit's input specification before ordering. Buyers needing continuous, hands-free monitoring should note this model only tests on demand.
