ESD fasteners for the Item framing system

摘要

Builders of production and test equipment often want to ensure that any electrostatic build-up will be safely discharged to earth. This can sometimes be a problem with aluminium profile frames, because the anodised layer is an electrical insulator. The fasteners used usually do not guarantee an electrical connection, particularly over the longer term. Once even the smallest amount of corrosion has set into the joint area, any continuity may be lost.
