ESD electronics 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.

- Handles with multi-component plastic sleeves
- DIN ISO 9654
- Joint with stainless steel rivet
- Opening spring and opening limiter
- Extremely smooth action for low-fatigue work
- Electrostatic energy is dissipated
slowly and in a controlled manner
- For the finest cutting work in electronics and precision mechanics
