Altico Static Control Solutions offers slimline ergo wristbands for the effective grounding of staff who handle ESD-sensitive components. The wrist straps are made from jewellery-grade, expandable stainless steel for high durability, with bands that are insulated with a triple-layer, oven-baked coating.
All models of metal bands come with patented ‘X-tenders’ – inter-connectable plastic links which enable the user to adjust or expand the strap to any wrist size by using one or more of the five pieces provided. This renders the metal band extremely comfortable and eliminates the need to stock up on different sizes.
The wristbands are grounded through a 3 mm stud with 360° swivel, and are adjustable from 130 mm to 170 mm using one or more of the five 10 mm nylon expansion links. They meet or exceed IEC 61340-5-1, MIL HDBK 263B, MIL STD 1686B and ANSI/ESD-S1.1-2006 standards.
