Properly grounding your ESD mat is very important as it needs to work the best. You can now make that wish a reality.But what if your ESD mat fails?Herzesd is here to help you learn how to do it right, so your ESD mat can keep electronic things safe.
When you’re working with electronic things, like computers and phones, you can get something called static electricity. This static can injure your electronic things if not removed. That's where the ESD mat comes into play. The ESD mat removes the static electricity so your electronic items aren’t ruined. One thing to note, the ESD mat works best if it is grounded. Grounding is the term used when the ESD mat is attached to an item capable of taking the static electricity away. This way the static electricity does not remain on the ESD mat and can't hurt your electronic devices.
How to Ground Your ESD Mat Correctly and Avoid Speaking with Electricians Here’s how to ground yourself or an individual working on an important electronics project, an ESD bench mat to prevent static charge to components and circuit boards that you are either working on or are around:
For your ESD mat to work, you need to have it connected to a good ground. A ground is means of removing the static electricity safely. A nice ground is a metal pole stuck in the ground or a funky plug into your wall. You’ll want to ask an adult to verify that the ground is good. After you locate a good ground, you can use a special cord to connect your ESD mat to it. This cord is referred to as a grounding cord and helps to bleed off the static electricity from the ESD mat.
You have to be very cautious when you are working with electronic things, particularly circuit boards and computer chips. These are fairly delicate things and sensitive to static electricity. That's why an ESD mat and ensuring that it is properly grounded is so important. If you do not ground your ESD mat, having static on it defeats the purpose due to the fact the static will stay on the ESD mat and fry your electronic components. When you ground your ESD mat, you’re ensuring that the static electricity is discharged properly and your electronic items are protected.
You may want to be more careful with your ESD mat if you’re working at a place that there are many electronic things around, such as office or factory. Here are some dos and don’ts to consider:
