ESD Jacket and Pants

ESD clothing garments should be a serious consideration in some ESD protective areas, especially in clean rooms and very dry environments. Normal clothing materials can create large electrostatic charges that may discharge into sensitive components or they may create electrostatic fields that may induce charges. As clothing usually is electrically insulated or isolated from the body, charges on clothing fabrics are not necessarily dissipated to the skin and then to ground. Grounded static control garments are intended to minimize the effects of electrostatic fields or charges that may be present on a person’s clothing.
