Technology Options by Transforming Technologies

1. Single-Wire Wrist Straps:
   • Common and Reliable: These wrist straps feature a single conductor and connect to a banana-type jack. They are the most prevalent type in use.
   • Functionality: A single wire forms a conductive bridge between your body and the ground, neutralizing any static charge.
   • Safety: The grounding cord includes a built-in resistor to ensure controlled discharge, preventing hazards¹.
2. Dual-Wire Wrist Straps:
   • Enhanced Protection: Also known as dual-conductor wrist straps, these offer an extra layer of safety.
   • Dual Path: Two separate conductors—one for grounding and one for monitoring—provide redundancy.
   • Ideal for Critical Environments: Dual-wire straps are favored in environments where grounding is critical
3. Disposable Wrist Straps:
   • Convenient and Temporary: Designed for short-term use, these wrist straps are practical for visitors or infrequent ESD protection needs.
