Grounding Cords Description
Grounding Cords provide a reliable path for static electricity to flow safely from personnel, tools, or equipment to a grounded point. They are essential in SMT assembly lines, electronics manufacturing, repair stations, and testing areas, where even small electrostatic discharges can damage sensitive components like PCBs and semiconductors.
Durable and flexible, these cords easily connect wrist bands, heel straps, or other ESD equipment to a verified grounding point. Their sturdy construction ensures consistent conductivity throughout the workday, making them an essential part of any ESD control system.
Whether you’re setting up a production line or maintaining a repair station, Grounding Cords help maintain compliance with ESD safety standards while protecting valuable electronics.

Grounding Cords FAQs
1. What are grounding cords used for?
Grounding cords provide a safe path for static electricity to flow from personnel, tools, or equipment to a grounded point, protecting sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge.
2. What can I connect with a grounding cord?
You can connect wrist bands, heel straps, ESD mats, or other grounded equipment to ensure continuous protection against static electricity.
3. Where should I use them?
Grounding cords are ideal for SMT assembly lines, electronics manufacturing, repair stations, testing areas, or any workspace handling static-sensitive components like PCBs or semiconductors.
4. Are they durable?
Yes. Grounding cords are designed to be flexible yet sturdy, providing reliable conductivity throughout extended use on production floors or in repair workshops.
5. Do they replace other ESD safety equipment?
No. Grounding cords are part of a complete ESD control system and work alongside wrist bands, heel straps, mats, and proper workstation setup to ensure full protection.
6. How do I maintain grounding cords?
Check them regularly for wear or damage and ensure that connections remain clean and properly attached to verified ground points to maintain reliable performance.
