Single Operator and Mat Continuous Monitor

Single conductor (more commonly called single wire) ESD wrist strap monitors detect capacitance. These simplified monitors sense the input connection but do not discern precision resistance. They also offer additional value by monitoring the worksurface (ESD Mat) and the ground connection. The built-in LED offers local visual alerts, and a small piezo buzzer offers a nice clear audible alert to the operator at the bench.

This is an entry point to monitoring personnel at the bench. If you are only verifying your Single Wire ESD Wrist Straps via a ESD tester it is possible your wrist strap may fail or the operator may exceed the allowable resistance path to ground while at the bench, exposing sensitive components to electrostatic discharge.
