ESD electronic pliers

When using tools on components that are at risk from electronic discharge (ESDS - electro static discharge sensitive devices), the relevant standards and regulations (e.g. IEC TR 61340-5, DIN EN 61340-5, SP Method 2472) require controlled discharge of electrical charges
through the handles of such tools. In this way, components are safely protected from electrostatic energy and associated damage.

The use of highly integrated circuits, called ICs, is making electrical devices smaller and smaller. However, ICs usually react to electrostatic energy fields with malfunctions or total failure. Therefore,
electrostatically protected pliers are indispensable in such applications.

- Head mirror polished
- Handles with multi-component plastic covers
- Chrome ball bearing steel
- DIN ISO 9654
- Through joint, stable and backlash-free
- Low-friction double spring for smooth and even opening
-
Electrostatic energy is dissipated slowly and in a controlled manner
- For fine cutting work in electronics and precision mechanics

Advantage: Mirror polish combined with a fine oil film provides good rust protection, no interference in the circuit due to flaking chrome parts.
