Celebrating 40 Years In ESD - Trusted UK Supplier Of ESD Control Products Since 1986

Anti Static Wrist Straps and ESD Cords

Anti static wrist straps and ESD cords are essential personnel grounding products used to control electrostatic discharge in ESD Protected Areas (EPAs). They safely dissipate static electricity from the human body, reducing the risk of ESD damage to static-sensitive electronic components during handling, assembly, testing, or repair.

At Bondline, we supply a comprehensive range of ESD wrist straps, anti static wristbands and grounding cords designed for professional use in electronics manufacturing, laboratories, repair centres and cleanroom environments. All products comply with IEC 61340-5-1, RoHS, and REACH requirements.

Why ESD Wrist Straps Are Critical for Static Control

The human body is one of the largest generators of electrostatic charge. Even small movements can create voltage levels capable of damaging PCBs, microchips, SMDs and other static-sensitive components.

An electrostatic discharge wrist strap provides a controlled path to ground, safely dissipating static charge to earth before it can cause harm. For seated operators, wrist straps are the most effective and reliable grounding method recommended within an ESD Control Programme.

They are commonly used alongside:

ESD Wrist Straps and Wristbands

ESD wrist straps, sometimes referred to as anti static wristbands or grounding bracelets, consist of two components:

  • A wristband worn in direct contact with the skin
  • An ESD cord that connects the operator to a grounding point

Bondline offers a wide selection to suit different working environments and preferences, including:

  • Adjustable fabric wrist straps
  • Metal wristbands for durability and comfort
  • Disposable anti static wrist straps for temporary or visitor use
  • Premium wrist straps for continuous professional applications

Each wrist strap is engineered to deliver consistent electrical resistance and operator safety.

ESD Cords and Grounding Leads

ESD cords form the vital connection between the wrist strap and ground. A high-quality cord ensures reliable discharge of static electricity and long-term performance.

Our range includes:

  • Straight and coiled ESD cords
  • Standard grounding leads compatible with most wrist straps
  • Options suitable for workstations, mobile setups and EPAs

These cords integrate seamlessly with Bondline’s broader ESD grounding and earthing solutions.

Bespoke Coil Cords for Professional Environments

Bondline also offers custom ESD coil cords, ideal for organisations with specific technical or branding requirements.

Customisation options include:

  • 4mm, 7mm or 10mm studs
  • Bespoke cord lengths
  • Colour matching for work zones or corporate branding

How to Use an Anti Static Wrist Strap Correctly

For effective grounding:

  • Wear the wristband snugly against bare skin
  • Connect one end of the ESD cord to the wrist strap and the other end to
  • an approved grounding point or bonding plug
  • Ensure the grounding system is tested regularly for correct resistance

When worn correctly, an anti static wrist strap allows operators to work freely while maintaining continuous ESD protection.

Choosing the Right ESD Wrist Strap and Cord

Selecting the correct wrist strap and grounding cord depends on:

  • Whether the operator is seated or mobile
  • The type of components being handled
  • The layout of the ESD Protected Area

Bondline’s experienced team can help you choose the most suitable solution as part of a complete ESD control system.
