ESD Wrist Strap are commonly used in the electronics industry, where many electronic components can be damaged due to static discharge. Personnel working in explosive environments sometimes also use ESD Wrist Strap to prevent the generation of electric sparks from causing explosions. The a ESD Wrist Strap itself is an elastic textile band with conductive fibers. The wristband is connected to a metal wire, and the end of the metal wire has clips that can be clamped onto a grounded conductor. Fibers are generally made of carbon or carbon-filled rubber, while wristbands are fixed with stainless steel clasps.
