Do I really need an anti-static wristband?
If you’re working with components that are effected by ESD (Electro Static Discharge), then we recommend you get a wrist strap, otherwise your components could be damaged.


When should I wear my wristband?
You should wear it when in contact with components that are sensitive to ESD. Most clean rooms and ESD safe work areas will require you to wear one when sitting on a chair too for optimum protection.
