A wrist strap and footwear combo tester is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing device used to verify the effectiveness of personal grounding equipment in static-controlled environments. It checks both wrist straps and ESD footwear to ensure workers are properly grounded before entering sensitive areas such as cleanrooms, electronics assembly lines, or laboratories.
Supporting Both Wrist Strap and Footwear Testing
- Comprehensive Protection. This ESD tester supports both wrist strap and footwear testing ensures that the two primary grounding methods are verified. By testing both, the device guarantees comprehensive protection against electrostatic buildup in different scenarios.
- Increased Accuracy and Reliability. When only one grounding method is tested, there is a higher risk of overlooking potential failures. By supporting both wrist strap and footwear testing, the ESD testing equipment reduces the chances of undetected grounding issues, ensuring accurate and reliable performance monitoring.
Wrist Strap and Footwear Tester Equipped LCD Screen
- Clear and Intuitive Display. An LCD screen provides a straightforward way to show test results in real time. Instead of relying on only LED indicators, the screen can display numerical values.
- Enhanced Accuracy of Readings. With an LCD display, operators can see the exact value measured during wrist strap or footwear testing. By showing actual data, the ESD combo tester promotes proactive maintenance rather than reactive troubleshooting.
Applications
SISCO's wrist strap tester is an essential device for maintaining electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety in electronics manufacturing, laboratories, and cleanroom environments. Its primary function is to verify that wrist straps, which ground personnel, are functioning correctly to prevent static buildup that could damage sensitive electronic components. Wrist strap monitor is critical for ESD compliance, workplace safety, and product reliability in any environment handling sensitive electronic equipment.

Q1: What is a wrist strap and footwear combo tester?
A1: A wrist strap & footwear tester is a device that tests the resistance of an anti-static wrist strap and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) footwear to confirm they are functioning correctly. Using this tester helps prevent static electricity buildup, protecting sensitive electronic components.
Q2: How does a wrist strap and footwear tester work?
A2: A wrist strap & footwear tester works by measuring electrical resistance to ensure proper grounding of personnel in static-sensitive environments. The tester checks both wrist straps and ESD footwear to ensure they provide a safe resistance path to ground. The user connects their wrist strap or stands on the test footplate. This combo tester is digitally displayed. If the resistance falls within the preset safe range, the LCD displays a specific reading (green); otherwise, it shows values in red.
Q3: Are there any maintenance requirements for the wrist strap & footwear tester?
A3: Yes, wrist strap and footwear combo tester requires regular maintenance to ensure accurate performance. The test surface should be kept clean and free of dust, oil. Regularly inspect cables, footplates, and wrist strap jacks for wear or damage. Replace worn-out components promptly to maintain reliability.
Tips: What safety precautions should I take when using the wrist strap & footwear tester?
When using a wrist strap & footwear tester, follow these safety precautions: Ensure the tester is properly grounded before use to avoid inaccurate results. Do not use the tester with wet hands or in humid conditions to prevent false readings. Stand firmly on the test plate with clean, dry footwear for accurate measurement. Avoid applying excessive pressure on the touch plate or switches. Keep the device free from dust and static buildup.
