Wrist Band Tester BK-498

BAKON BK-498 ESD Wrist Strap Tester is a compact portable tester designed to quickly check the operating condition of an ESD wrist strap and its grounding path. The operator connects the wrist strap and presses the metal test button; the unit indicates whether the measured resistance is LOW, GOOD/PASS, or HIGH. It operates from a 9V battery, making it convenient for ESD workstations and electronics production environments.
