0 03 inches thick more or less.
Diy esd mat.
For this esd mats are made of pvc plastic and polyurethane.
Let us start off with the mat.
Surface resistivity is 10 9 10 10.
Measure the resistance from the ground snap on the mat to the common ground point.

Static control esd clean room products static control grounding mats are in stock at digikey.

With a really colourful scheme and an aesthetically pleasing design the kotto mat comes with a repair tool kit included in it as well.
The esd mats are typically very thin.
As mentioned this mat is anti static and esd safe all while having 4 different magnetic areas of coverage.
It seems counter intuitive because we think of plastic an rubber as insulators.
They are but only relative to metals.
Finally on our list is a kotto anti static esd safe magnetic soldering mat.
Esd working surface should never be grounded in series i e.
That and keeping my feet still seems to be enough.
They are low cost durable easy to cut and are reversible.
Also when dealing with high voltage insulation must be much thicker to be effective.
These mats are made of a homogenous polymer mix.
A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribocharging or by electros.
Electrostatic discharge esd is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact an electrical short or dielectric breakdown.
They include an esd general purpose mat a wrist strap and ground cord.
