How to Cut an ESD Mat Roll Video
Transcript
In this video we are going to show you how to cut an ESD Mat Roll.
The Elimstat 5300 series ESD mat roll is made of an anti static rubber material that is 2mm thick. The top surface is static dissipative and the bottom surface is conductive.
To cut the 5300 Mat roll, fix the mat to a starting point. Roll out the mat to a desired length and remove the accompanying plastic cover.
Place a T-Square on the mat roll, aligning it to your desired length. Cut the mat along the T-Square, keeping the blade flush to ensure a consistent cut.
To add the grounding snap, place a soft support pad under the mat. This protects the table from the metal prongs of the snap. Press the snap into the mat with the prong side down. Use a support, such as a screwdriver, to press the snap fully into the mat.
Once the snap is flush against the top of the mat, turn over the mat and bend the prongs so that they bend inwards, securing the snap into the mat.
Connect Grounding Cables to Mats
• The grounding cables should be common point grounds to connect wrist straps to your workstation or mat grounds to bond the roll separately onto the floor.
The top anti static side of the mat collects static off of hands, feet, tools, and equipment laid on top of it at a static dissipative rate, (1 x 106 to 9 x 108 ohms / square).
The bottom of the mat then conducts static to ground at a conductive rate, (1 x 103 to 9 x 104 ohms / square).
However, if the mat is laying on top of a bench or floor made of an insulating material (like wood tables) you will need to install snaps and connect the mat to an electrical outlet with a grounding cable.
Multiple grounding cables can be attached to the same electrical outlet. They should not be “daisy-chained” together. Instead, directly connect the grounding cables to the electrical outlet.
Electrical outlets typically are the best path to ground the mat in any building because they follow the piping to the Earth’s electrical field underneath the building.
When connected to the electrical outlet, the mat is in electrical balance with the positive and negative charges of the building you are using it in.
ESD Workstation Setup Video
Transcript
In this video, we are going to show you how to set up your 5300 series ANSI / ESD compliant workstation.
First, roll out an ESD safe mat roll.
This is the Elimstat 5300 series two-ply static dissipative mat. It is a two-ply nitrile rubber material that is 2 millimeters thick. The top surface is static dissipative and the bottom surface is conductive.
Next, remove the 4715 common point ground from the bag. Snap the common point ground onto the installed 10 millimeter snap.
Once the female snap on the mat is connected to the male snap on the common point ground, connect the eyelet on the other end of the wire to an outlet or to earth ground.
To install the eyelet onto an outlet remove the outlet screw and attach the eyelet onto the outlet screw. Screw both back into the outlet, making sure both are secured tightly. This grounds the mat and any accessory plugged into the common point ground.
Lastly, remove the wrist strap set from the bag and connect it to one of the two banana receptacles in the common point ground.
Wrist straps directly capture static from your skin’s surface, protecting your ESD sensitive components.
ANSI / ESD S4.1 Test Data
The border line between conductive and static dissipative is 1 million ohms per square. This is also referred to as 1 meg ohm or 1 x 106 ohms.
To satisfy the ANSI / ESD S4.1 Worksurfaces – Resistance Measurements test standard the top static dissipative part of the mat was measured using resistance-to-groundable point and resistance point-to-point tests.
ANSI / ESD S4.1 guidelines at section 8.0 recommend resistance-to-groundable point (RTG) tests should find the top surface of grounded mats measure ESD resistance between 1 x 106 and 1 x 109 ohms.
Resistance point-to-point (also known as top-to-top or RTT) tests should measure the ESD resistance of the top surface of the mats at greater than or equal to 1 x 106 ohms.
As viewable in our diagrams, all 5300 Series mat samples were recorded within the acceptable range between 1 x 106 and 1 x 109 ohms, regardless of humidity, to meet the current S4.1 standard.
In our low relative humidity test, the sample with the least resistance measured 1.2 x 107 ohms.
The mat sample with the highest resistance measured 3.9 x 107 ohms / square.
In our moderate relative humidity test, the sample with the least resistance measured 1.0 x 107 ohms.
The mat sample with the highest resistance measured 9.8 x 107 ohms.
