RS PRO Anti-static Earth Bonding Point Box

These EBP boxes meet the need defined in EN 61340-5 for connecting the elements of an ESD Protected Area (EPA) to a common connection point or Earth Bonding Point (EBP).

The normal earth contact is linked via an individual 1 meg-ohm current limiting resistor. In the event of a workstation element inadvertent contact with the mains supply voltage, the resistor will limit the fault current to less than 0.3 mA at 240 V.

FAQs

What is bonding?
Bonding is used to reduce the risk of electric shocks when there is a fault somewhere in the supply of electrical installation.

What are ESD grounding accessories used for?
ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding accessories are components within ESD grounding loops. These accessories are used in workplaces where sensitive electronic equipment must be protected from static electricity, or where there's a danger of flammable liquids or gases igniting.

ESD protection is achieved by electrical grounding. Grounding accessories are components that may be required as part of an entire ESD grounding system. They're often used to connect and integrate ESD-safe mats, ESD continuous monitors, wrist straps, ESD safe shoe covers and other apparel, or ESD-safe surfaces.

Types of ESD grounding accessories
Available accessories include a range of connectors, bonding points, bonding plugs, bonding boxes, bonding brackets, earthing wires, individual replacement snap studs, stud installation tools, earth stud kits, crocodile clips and a variety of adaptors such as stud-to-banana sockets.
