Anti-Static Field kit. It is recommended that an anti-static field kit be kept on any
site where solid-state printed circuit boards and other ESD-sensitive compo-
nents are handled. These kits are designed to remove any existing static charge
and to prevent the build-up of a static charge that could damage a PC board or
ESD-sensitive components. The typical anti-static field kit consists of the
following components:

1. A work surface (10mm conductive plastic sheet with a female snap

fastener in one corner for ground cord attachment).

2. A 15-foot long ground cord for grounding the work surface.

3. Wrist strap (available in two sizes, large and small, for proper fit and

comfort) with a female snap fastener for ground cord attachment.

4. A coiled ground cord with a practical extension length of 10 feet for

attachment to the wrist strap.

Toothbrush (any standard one will do)
