FR2109 ESD mouse

ESD Mouse – Description

An ESD Mouse is a static-safe input device designed for use in electrostatic discharge (ESD)-sensitive environments. It helps prevent the buildup and discharge of static electricity, which can potentially damage delicate electronic components. These mice are typically used in areas like electronics manufacturing, cleanrooms, laboratories, and semiconductor facilities, where static control is critical to prevent damage to sensitive devices.

Key Features

• ESD-safe materials: Constructed from conductive or static-dissipative plastics to prevent static buildup and discharge

• Low surface resistivity: Usually within the range of 10⁶–10⁹ ohms to comply with ESD protection standards

• Ergonomic design: Offers comfortable handling for prolonged use in professional settings

• High-precision tracking: Typically optical or laser tracking for smooth, responsive movement

• USB or PS/2 connection: Compatible with standard computer interfaces

• Durable, easy-to-clean surface: Some models are resistant to contamination, making them suitable for cleanroom or industrial environments

Common Applications

• Workstations in ESD-controlled areas (EPAs)

• Electronics manufacturing lines, including PCB assembly

• Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) for tasks like research, testing, or documentation

• Medical device production and biotech industries

• Laboratories where sensitive equipment or devices are present

Benefits

• Prevents electrostatic discharge that could damage sensitive electronic devices, boards, or components

• Helps ensure compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340-5-1 standards for static control

• Protects valuable equipment and data integrity in environments where static buildup is a concern

• Offers a reliable and ergonomic solution for users in demanding ESD-safe workspaces

• Ideal for use alongside other ESD-safe peripherals like keyboards and workstations
