RS PRO Black Bench ESD-Safe Mat, 1.2m x 600mm x 2mm

RS PRO ESD Bench Mat

Introducing the RS PRO ESD bench mat. Designed to help prevent damage to ESD sensitive items and assemblies from Electrostatic Discharge. During application, the mat drain static charge, ground the item and protect surfaces from wear.

Where would you use these ESD mats?

Anti-static matting should be laid out in the workshops or advanced laboratories for microelectronic industries such as electronic semi-conduct devices, electronic computers, electronic communication equipment and integrated circuits.

Features and Benefits

• ESD bench mat
• Manufactured from rubber
• Supplied with 10 mm stud
• Solder Iron resistant
• Easy to clean
• Low reflecting

Why is it important to be ESD safe?

ESD safe mats help to create an ESD protected area (EPA). This is a defined space where all surfaces, objects, people and ESD Sensitive Devices (ESDs) are kept at the same electrical potential. This is achieved by using anti-static materials such as rubber. The mats can be used on your worktop bench or the floor. You can also use ESD safe gloves and ESD safe footwear to ensure optimum personal grounding and protection. It's important to create an EPA because electrostatic discharge can cause safety issues and damage your electrical components.

Standards

Conforms to IEC 61340-2-3, CE

Bench / Floor Matting

The most efficient way of ensuring optimum personal grounding is to employ the combination of ESD footwear and ESD matting.
