ESD wrist strap for electronics service

The StarTech SWS100 wrist strap prevents electrostatic buildup while you handle sensitive components. It ships with a 1.8 m grounding cord and uses static-dissipative material rather than a simple conductive loop. The blue band is intended for technicians and hobbyists who need reliable ESD protection during repairs or assembly.

Exceeds IBM and US military static control standards

This model meets the static-control requirements cited by IBM and US military specifications, making it suitable for environments where those benchmarks are mandated. The dissipative construction provides a controlled path to ground instead of an uncontrolled conductive short. Buyers who need a strap certified to a different standard or a specific resistance value not listed here should verify compatibility before purchase.

Includes 1.8 m grounding cord

The package supplies the wrist band and a 1.8 m grounding cord so you can connect directly to a grounded point. A two-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects. No additional software, test leads or replacement bands are bundled, so users needing spare cords or alternative connector types must source them separately.

Questions about this item

How does the 1.8 m grounding cord affect freedom of movement at a workbench?

The 1.8 m cord lets you move comfortably around a typical bench while staying connected to a grounded point, reducing the risk of pulling the strap loose.

What does the claim about exceeding IBM and US military static control standards mean for daily use?

It means the strap meets recognised ESD thresholds for surface resistance and charge decay, so it reliably drains static from your body during component handling.

What mounting or connection options does the wrist strap include for grounding?

The package supplies a 1.8 m grounding wire that terminates in a standard banana plug or alligator clip for attachment to a grounded mat, chassis or wrist-strap tester.
