RS PRO ESD Earth Bonding Bracket With 10 mm Stud x 3

RS PRO Earth Bonding Brackets

Earth bonding brackets distribute electrical mains earth within the EPA. These RS PRO brackets come with 3 terminations, with individual 1 meg-ohm resistors.

This unit distinguishes between earth facility and earth bonding point.

An earth facility (EF) usually distributes the electrical mains earth or a dedicated ESD earth, (protective earth) within an EPA.

An earth bonding point (EBP or common ground point) ties together several elements of an EPA such as bench surface, floor mat or wrist strap. In this manner, all are kept at the same electrical potential. In an EPA there may be several EBP but there must be only one EF.

Options available include:

287-7492 - Earth bonding bracket, 3 x 10 mm stud
287-7509 - Earth bonding bracket, 3 x 4 mm banana stud
298-3913 - Earth bonding bracket, 2 x 4 mm/1 x 10 mm stud

FAQs

What are ESD grounding accessories used for?
ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding accessories are components within ESD grounding loops. These accessories are used in workplaces where sensitive electronic equipment must be protected from static electricity, or where there's a danger of flammable liquids or gases igniting.

ESD protection is achieved by electrical grounding. Grounding accessories are components that may be required as part of an entire ESD grounding system. They're often used to connect and integrate ESD-safe mats, ESD continuous monitors, wrist straps, ESD safe shoe covers and other apparel, or ESD-safe surfaces.

What types of ESD grounding accessories are available?

Available accessories include a range of connectors, bonding points, bonding plugs, bonding boxes, bonding brackets, earthing wires, individual replacement snap studs, stud installation tools, earth stud kits, crocodile clips and a variety of adaptors such as stud-to-banana sockets.
