Anti-Static ESD Gloves

(14 products)

Anti-static gloves protect sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge damage that happens faster than you can feel it. Modern microchips fail at just 10 volts—your body generates 1,500 to 35,000 volts simply by walking across carpet. One unprotected touch can destroy a circuit board worth hundreds of pounds, often without you realizing it until the component fails weeks later in the field.

These IEC 61340-5-1 certified anti-static gloves work through controlled conductivity. Carbon fibres woven into nylon liners or embedded in polyurethane palm coatings create pathways that allow static charges to dissipate gradually—like a controlled trickle rather than a sudden dump. Rapid discharge is what kills semiconductors. A controlled discharge, constrained within the static dissipative range of 10⁵ to 10¹¹ ohms per square, keeps your components safe.

Key Construction Options
  • PU-coated fingertips – maximum dexterity for smartphone repair and fine connector work
  • Full palm coatings – better grip on smooth PCBs that slide easily
  • Seamless knit – comfort during eight-hour cleanroom shifts

Here's the critical part: anti-static gloves don't work alone. You need proper grounding via a wrist strap or ESD mat connected to earth. Without it, you're just moving static around, not eliminating it. The gloves reduce discharge speed, but those charges must have somewhere to go.

Use these for computer building, smartphone and tablet repair, PCB assembly lines, semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical cleanrooms handling electronic equipment, and any electronics testing environment. The maths is simple: a pair costs £5–15. A destroyed circuit board costs £100–500. Field failures cost thousands in warranty claims and reputation damage.
