Banana Jack Outlet Plug Adapter | Universal Ground 3 Prong Outlet Earth Connection | ESD Control | Black Light Weight Unbreakable Plastic | 1 Piece | STI - DES - 09838

Its a Banana Jack, and it works perfectly.

I have been looking for something like this for years without success. Our test benches have solid copper bar we attach our ESD leads to for grounding. But in the field you may not have have this available. This plug plugs into any 120VAC earth grounded outlet and works extremely well for working on electronics especially any electronics that have any MOS devices including CMOS, CPU, GPU etc., onboard the PCB. These devices will be damaged or killed outright if there is any static charge applied over 50 Volts static. Since at a minimum the human body has at least 5,000 Vs on the skin an could easily be more than 100,000 Vs, exposure to these voltages can kill the devices or damage their junctions causing premature failure. This plug in grounding plug takes a banana plug input. The body appears to be made of glass-filled polycarbonate that is very ideal electrically and costs more to make. It is an excellent insulator and is perfect for supporting the metal ground terminal. I bought two of these and they work great!

Great little addition to my bench and wrist strap. Simple device that does what it promises.

This is a very handy item and I appreciate that it's rather a specialty device. It's nicely made and works just fine. My only gripe is that I think it's kind of pricey for such a simple minded gizmo. Oh well, everything seems to be too expensive these days....

Made the work on the electronics easier, paired with a electro-static discharge wriststrap and a mat, I was much more confident.
