ESD Grounding Cord – Dual Point

The dual-point ESD grounding cord is designed to connect two separate ESD-sensitive surfaces—such as two wrist straps or two mats—to a common grounding point. It is ideal for shared workstations or setups requiring the grounding of multiple devices simultaneously.

🔹 Key Features

• Type: Dual-conductor cord with two snaps or connectors on one end
• Connectors: Typically two male 10 mm snaps on one side and a single banana plug, ring terminal, or alligator clip on the other
• Length: Commonly available in 6 ft (1.8 m); custom lengths available
• Built-in Resistors: Includes one or two 1 MΩ resistors depending on configuration
• Outer Jacket: Flexible and durable PVC or PU insulation
• Color: Standard black or green for ESD use

🔹 Applications

• Connects two wrist straps to one ground point for dual-operator workstations
• Grounds two ESD mats or surfaces at once
• Used in electronics labs, repair centers, and EPA-compliant environments

🔹 Benefits

• Efficient: Grounds two surfaces with one cable
• Space-saving: Reduces clutter in multi-user setups
• Cost-effective: One cord replaces two individual ground cords

🔹 How to Use

1. Snap both ends to their respective wrist straps or mats
2. Connect the ground-side end (banana plug or ring terminal) to an ESD ground point
3. Use an ESD tester to verify correct resistance and continuity

🔹 Maintenance Tips

• Inspect connectors and insulation for damage or looseness
• Test regularly to ensure resistors are functioning (around 1MΩ)
• Replace immediately if either path fails continuity

🔹 Compliance Standards

• ANSI/ESD S20.20 – U.S. ESD control standard
• IEC 61340-5-1 – Global ESD protection standard
