Diy Anti Static Mat

Fat rubber mats made no difference in my experience.

Diy anti static mat.

This is my first instructable. Esi works on electrostatic dissipative surfaces in our facility. No experience with carbon fibre or any of the like. The difference between using grounding cables separate for a mat or wrist strap as opposed to a common point ground is primarily ergonomic.

An inexpensive solution to a reasonably expensive albeit necessary electronic soldering accessory. Electro soft incorporated shows you how electrostatic discharge affects electronics. However i don t do it enough to justify buying an antistatic wrist strap or esd mat. You can buy mat kits online from general online retailers such as amazon.

Most people think its hard to fry electronics with static electricity. How to make a grounding wrist band. That and keeping my feet still seems to be enough. If you re standing on an esd mat you don t have to worry about that buildup damaging esd sensitive components.

For example the friction of your shoes against a floor can build up static electricity. I am not joking it is possible if you are experienced. I can t believe i forgot to list the last one. Slc dweller here quite dry clime.

If you want to go the extra mile just place one hand on the metal casing while using the other to build. I do my diy repairs as cheap as possible so i go old school and just discharge the static electricity in my body by touching the metal frame on the device to equalize the electric potential. Diy anti static mat. An anti static wrist strap will do just fine.

Please give advice constructive criticism and praise. But if you paranoid just have an anti static mat while building. In my life i deal with lots of sensitive electronics every day and frying these electronics is a big concern when touching them. Its not one touch could send your 100 graphics.

The grounding cable is what connects the anti static mat being used as a work surface to the electrical outlet.
