A person named Roy Burton Steele invented the anti-static wrist strap while he was working at a company called AVCO Corporation in Richmond, Indiana. In the late 60's, Steele was tasked with designing radar controlled bomb-lets and the chosen technology at the time as a new for the period technology called Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors (CMOS) which turned out to be easily damaged by static discharges. Steele designed the wrist strap to prevent damage to the delicate devices (which were only the size of a US Quarter.) As a side note on the invention documentation, he also pointed out that they could be used as "heart monitor leads."
What else can I help you with?
Anti static wrist straps anti static bags?
Anti-static wrist straps are worn on a person's wrist to safely ground them while working on electronics to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. Anti-static bags are used to store electronic components and devices to prevent static electricity buildup and protect them from damage. Both are important tools in preventing damage to sensitive electronics from static electricity.
What are some good examples of anti static products?
If someone wishes to remove static, there are many examples of good anti static products. Static-A-Way is a detergent that removes static from clothes when washed. Grounding wrist bands remove static when working on computers.
Descibe two ways that you can control static discharge in your home?
Utilize anti-static products such as anti-static mats, sprays, or wrist straps to reduce static build-up on surfaces and on your body. Maintain appropriate humidity levels in your home to prevent static electricity build-up, as dry air can increase the likelihood of static discharge.
What tool is used for hardware to stand on to prevent static electricity from building up?
An anti-static mat or wrist strap is used to prevent static electricity from building up on hardware components. These tools help to safely discharge any static buildup when handling sensitive electronics.
How can static prevention be effectively implemented in order to minimize the risk of damage to electronic devices?
Static prevention can be effectively implemented to minimize the risk of damage to electronic devices by using anti-static wrist straps, mats, and bags, ensuring proper grounding of equipment, and avoiding static-prone environments. Regularly cleaning and maintaining equipment can also help prevent static buildup.

What precautions is not a recommended method to prevent the build up of static charges?
Wear anti-static wrist straps

What do anti static mats and wrist straps use to prevent anti static charges from racing through devices?
They use a connection to ground so that the static charge goes to ground instead of through the device.

Anti-static wrist straps and mats use tiny to prevent ESD?
Anti-Static Wrist Straps and mats are worn when, people need to use any tool or part of body to touch an electronic internaly. The wrist bands and mats have metal on the inside and sometimes outside to absorb the static electricity from your body. They must be connected to some kind of grounding object (usually via gator clamp) like a metel pole, power supply, ect.... If someone where not to wear one of these and touch a static or electric sensitive object like a motherboard for a computer, the static from your body could ark (jump) to the motherboard and couse it to fry or burn up.

Why should a technician that is working with a computers hardware wear an anti-static wrist strap?
the wrist strap will prevent computer components from being damaged by static electricity.
What is the bracelet pretaining to a computer?
I think you're referring to an 'anti-static wrist band'. When performing maintenance on a computer, it's essential to use an anti-static wrist band - to direct any static build-up to the earth. Computer components can fail if static from our bodies is allowed to build up to a high enough charge. The 'anti-static wrist band' - simply fastens around one wrist of the user/technician, and is connected to the mains electricity's earth circuit by a wire & plug. Excess static travels down the wire, and into the earth.
What tool is used for hardware to stand on to prevent static electricity from building up?
An anti-static mat or wrist strap is used to prevent static electricity from building up on hardware components. These tools help to safely discharge any static buildup when handling sensitive electronics.
What do anti static mats and wrist straps use to prevent anti static chargers from racing through devices?
A person can build up a static charge in their body simply be walking over a nylon carpet. If they then touch delicate components on a motherboard, the spark could fry a component, destroying the motherboard. Antistatic mats help prevent static build up. Antistatic wrist straps direct any body static directly to earth before any damage can occur. Touching a water pipe or a computer's chassis has the same affect of getting rid of body static. If children are jumping up and down on a (nylon) trampoline, you will get a spark (static) if they touch you - quite a party trick, especially if the children's hair is also standing up - a sure sign of static electricity!
