SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard regarding "Personnel Ground wrist strap Connection (non-monitored)." Non-monitored wrist straps require daily testing to ensure proper grounding, as they do not provide real-time feedback on grounding status. This poses a risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damaging sensitive electronic components during handling. In contrast, monitored wrist straps actively indicate grounding status, reducing the risk of ESD incidents.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard
  • Knowledge of electrostatic discharge (ESD) principles
  • Familiarity with wrist strap testing procedures
  • Basic electronics handling safety protocols
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ANSI/ESD S20.20 compliance requirements
  • Learn about the differences between monitored and non-monitored wrist straps
  • Explore ESD testing equipment and procedures
  • Investigate best practices for ESD control in electronics manufacturing
USEFUL FOR

Electronics technicians, quality assurance professionals, and safety officers involved in ESD control and compliance in electronics manufacturing environments.

Basically monitored wrist straps tell you if you're properly grounded so as not to zap an electronic component when you touch it.

Non-monitored straps should be tested once a day to verify that they are properly grounding you which means you run the risk oflosing ground at some point and zapping a chip ruining that device you're putting together or repairing.
