Why is ESD Safe Dissipative Finger Cots important?

I wanted to bring to your attention the potential issue of contamination on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), specifically caused by grease, oils, and even skin flakes from people .

These contaminants can easily affect the performance of the boards, especially analog circuits which are particularly susceptible to oils.

Additionally, hot solder on bare wires can slide off easily, posing a risk to the integrity of the circuitry. It's also worth considering the impact of oils on the pins of Integrated Circuits (ICs), as they can repel the hot solder.

To mitigate these risks, the use of finger cots is highly recommended. In particular, ESD Safe Dissipative Finger Cots from ANTISK are a great choice. Unlike non-ESD safe finger cots, which can accumulate a large static charge, ANTISK's Dissipative Finger Cots have the advantage of preventing static charge buildup.

This feature is crucial, as it prevents discharge into Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive (ESDS) devices, thereby avoiding potentially costly damage to your valuable jigs, assemblies, and PCBs.

Furthermore, the conductive properties of these finger cots ensure a secure grip, which is especially useful when handling small precision parts such as micro springs, screws, and through-hole components.

In conclusion, the use of ANTISK's ESD Safe Dissipative Finger Cots can effectively address the issue of contamination on your exposed PCBs, while also preventing static discharge and providing a secure grip for delicate components.
