Description

A high-quality straight ground cord provides a strong connection to ground. Durable ESD cords designed to be worn in an ESD working area. To ensure a path to ground, essential when handling components or assembling parts in an EPA. An EPA will not permit any item that could potentially buildup static electricity, resulting in an electrostatic discharge (ESD).

This 15ft (4.5metre) ground cord has a 10mm snap at one end and a 10mm snap and 2 banana sockets at the other end. Custom configurations available for all grounding products on request.

Key Features:

• 4.5 metres long (15ft).
• All snaps have a 1 meg-ohm safety resistor.
• Dual mouldings on terminations for maximum strain relief.
• Standard colour is black.
• Long-lasting and must be used in combination with a bonding plug to ensure operator is grounded.
• An essential product for grounding operators and parts.
• Custom Configurations and colours available on request.

Specification:

• Conductor: Diameter is 2.5mm, with 7 tinsel wire.
• Insulation: Straight cord insulated with PU material. The cord conductor shall have an end to end resistance of not greater than 50 ohms.
• Resistance: Ground connector (banana plug/eyelet) to snap = 1 Meg-ohm ± 20%. ground connector to terminal end (receptacle) = 1 Meg-ohm ± 20% snap to terminal end = 1 Meg-ohm ± 20%.
• Bending Life Test: Exceeds 20,000 cycles of bending life test without any physical damage on the strain relief.
• Breakaway Force: 1 to 5 lbs of pull away force is required to disconnect the snap in a normal disconnect direction.
• Hardware: All metal parts shall show no evidence of corrosion and rust after 24 hours submersion to salt solution. Preferably made from stainless steel or brass alloy plated with nickel.
• Connection Integrity: The tensile strength of the end connections shall be not less than 66% of the tensile strength of the wire, and in no case shall it be less than 5 lbs.
• Colour: Standard is black, other colours are available upon request.
• Markings: With identification logo, resistance value, and date code.

ESD Standards & Regulations Compliance:

	IEC 61340-5-1 compliant		RoHS compliant
	CE approved		REACH compliant
