The SCS 770016 3-X-Large Blue Smock Jacket with Knitted Cuffs, 3 Pockets, No Collar is designed to be antistatic and low tribocharging. This model creates a Faraday Cage around the torso and arms of the wearer to protect ESD susceptible items from electrostatic fields generated by charges on the operator’s clothing. Static control garments are intended to attenuate electrostatic fields that may be present on personnel clothing.
The 770016 is constructed of a lightweight dissipative material which is made from texturized polyester and a minimum of 9% carbon nylon monofilament. The conductive nylon fibers are woven in a chain-link design throughout the material, providing continuous and consistent charge dissipation. All of the seams in the smocks are designed to maintain electrical continuity from panel to panel and from sleeve to sleeve.
This smock incorporates a “hip-to-cuff” grounding feature which allows for hands-free grounding with no cord attached to the operator’s wrist. This feature allows connection of a ground cord to a 4mm snap stud on the hip. A seam of carbon-suffused threads provides a secure and direct electrical connection from the snap stud on the hip to conductive elastic cuffs.
