Most people think its hard to fry electronics with static electricity.

Diy anti static mat.

Fat rubber mats made no difference in my experience. No experience with carbon fibre or any of the like. I can t believe i forgot to list the last one. If you want to go the extra mile just place one hand on the metal casing while using the other to build.

Please give advice constructive criticism and praise. Esi works on electrostatic dissipative surfaces in our facility. The difference between using grounding cables separate for a mat or wrist strap as opposed to a common point ground is primarily ergonomic.

How to make a grounding wrist band. I made a diy cork mat and i ve noticed a reduction in static. I do my diy repairs as cheap as possible so i go old school and just discharge the static electricity in my body by touching the metal frame on the device to equalize the electric potential. However having the mat and the wrist strap grounded at the same point does keep them in electrical balance.

For example the friction of your shoes against a floor can build up static electricity. But if you paranoid just have an anti static mat while building. I am not joking it is possible if you are experienced. That and keeping my feet still seems to be enough.

An anti static wrist strap will do just fine. If you re standing on an esd mat you don t have to worry about that buildup damaging esd sensitive components. An inexpensive solution to a reasonably expensive albeit necessary electronic soldering accessory.
