ESD Protection for Electronics Work

The StarTech antistatic wrist strap grounds the user to discharge static buildup safely before it reaches sensitive components. A built-in 1M resistor limits current flow to reduce shock risk. The detachable 5ft coiled cord secures via alligator clip or banana plug for versatile workbench grounding.

Adjustable Fit for Shared Workstations

Hook-and-loop closure adjusts from 5.5 to 8.5in to fit most wrist sizes, allowing teams to stock a single size across multiple stations. Full 360° rotation maintains unrestricted movement during assembly or repair tasks. The detachable cord lets users switch benches or step away without removing the band.

Five-Foot Reach with Compact Storage

Coiled cable extends to 1.5m when fully stretched, giving ample mobility around a static-controlled workspace. Lightweight construction at 0.06lb adds negligible fatigue during extended use. TAA compliance and a two-year warranty support deployment in professional service and assembly environments.

Questions about this item

What grounding point do I need on my bench for the alligator clip or banana plug?

The detachable cord terminates in both an alligator clip and a banana plug, so any standard ESD grounding stud, mat snap or bench bolt that accepts either connector will work.

Will the strap still fit if I wear it over an 8.5 in sleeve cuff?

The adjustable hook-and-loop band fits wrists from 5.5 in to 8.5 in (14 cm to 21.6 cm), so a light cuff underneath stays within range.

How can I confirm the 1 MΩ resistor is limiting current after I clip in?

Measure resistance between the inner metal contact on the band and the grounding plug with a multimeter; a reading near 1 MΩ shows the protective resistor is intact.
