Hey there so I’m setting up a station at home and one small spot in the maint shop at work( for soldering after my shift ends long story)
wondering what you would suggest for a mat are those bertech mats with the snap to common point ground two Banana plug connections one for mat one for wrist strap the ones to go for ? Any other suggestions if not?
and what’s the best practice for esd work like bread boarding soldering etc handling components
pink poly bags for stuff like resistors and caps
Silver shielding bags for ics diodes transistors and electrolytic caps ?
transport them in whatever plastic bin they are in sealed in bags place on mat remove when bag is on mat to work with them?
I have those Leviton style outlets with nocenter screw so just confirm that the outlet is properly wired with ground wise with an outlet tester then check continuity between mounting screws and the ground hole in the receptacle.
At work they have the gfci outlets mounted in metal boxes same procedure but check the mounting screw is grounded as well?
Sorry for all the questions just want to make it as ideal as I can with what I have to work with.
