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

Conforms to IEC 61340-2-3, CE. RS PRO ESD Bench Mat. Introducing an ESD safe bench mat from RS PRO. Designed to help prevent damage to ESD sensitive items and assemblies from Electrostatic Discharge. During application, the mats 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. Conductive rubber bench matting Two layered mat manufactured from rubber Grey top surface and black bottom surface Supplied with one stud 10mm diameter Solder Iron resistant Low reflecting Surface resistance 2.3 x 10 ;sup>8 ;/sup> Ω. Dimensions. Length 1200 mm x Width 600 mm x Depth 2 mm. 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.
