Anti-static devices are tools designed to reduce or eliminate static electricity buildup. Static electricity can cause damage to sensitive electronic components, disrupt machinery, and create safety hazards. These devices work by grounding excess electrical charges, allowing them to safely dissipate into the environment. Common types of anti-static devices include anti-static wrist straps, ionizers, and anti-static mats. Wrist straps are worn by individuals working with electronics to prevent static discharge. Ionizers release ions that neutralize static charges in the air, while anti-static mats provide a safe surface for electronic assembly and repair.
