ESD Gloves and Finger Cots for Electronics Handling
Key checks for selecting ESD gloves and finger cots for electronics assembly, inspection and repair.
ESD gloves and finger cots support controlled handling of electrostatic-discharge-sensitive components. They are not electrical-shock protection and should be used as part of the wider controls required for the protected area.
Before ordering, confirm the part-handling task, required resistance range, test method, size requirement and compatibility with the site’s grounding and ESD procedures.
Finger cots can be useful where fingertip coverage and clean handling are needed, while gloves may suit longer handling tasks. The right choice depends on the work instruction and component sensitivity.
