What Are Earth Bonding Plugs Used For?

Earth Bonding Plugs are an essential product for grounding equipment in the EPA such as ESD wrist straps, ESD flooring connection cords and ESD matting. They must only be used for ESD control purposes. ESD Earth Bonding Plugs provide a common ground point for grounding using protective Earth in an ESD protected area (EPA). Using mains Earth as the “Earth Facility” is now the most popular method for guaranteeing Zero potential in the EPA.

Benefits of an Earth Bonding Plug:

• Simple and easy method of grounding personnel, ESD work benches, ESD matting, ESD wrist straps and ESD flooring.
• Reduction in the static decay rate of workstations.
• Reduction in component damage when handling static sensitive electronic devices and components.
