Connect Anti Static Mat To Ground

At a static free work station a common ground point will be noted by a symbol that looks like a black and white target.

Connect anti static mat to ground.

Whichever cable you use it will have a ground cable attached to it that ends in an eyelet. Just make sure you do not use the alligator clip to ground the wrist strap an anti static mat. At the other end of the cord attached to your wrist strap is an alligator clip that you can use to connect yourself to a common ground. The top of your mat is static dissipative.

Integral 1 x 10 6 ohm 1 megaohm resistor ground cord is 15. Align screw with post on the underside of ground cord and screw it firmly into the post. Attach the other end of the strap to a common ground. The snap is where you will connect the grounding cable.

Connect the end of the wire leader directly to a grounded source like the screw in an electrical receptacle to complete installation. If you connect earth directly to that surface it will dissipate charge. Turn mat over and insert snap and screw into threaded post on the underside of the mat. To ground anti static mats we insert a conductive snap on the corner of the anti static mat.

However you can t and shouldn t rely on that as a safe known or reliable resistance to earth. If an anti static mat is isolated from electrical ground by insulators carpets painted floors or tables you need to connect it to an electrical outlet by using a grounding cable. This eyelet is a metal ring that you can screw into the nearest electrical outlet to transfer static from the ground to the ground line in your building.
