Desco 06850 – ESD Training Paddles

• Training paddles set
• Demonstrates the creation and polarity of static charges and the functionality of ESD control products
• 3″x4″ aluminum and acrylic surfaces
• Rub together and separate to generate a static electric field strength of a few kilovolts
• Made in the USA

Desco ESD Training Paddles are ideal for demonstrating several electrostatic principles. Among these are:

• Static Electric Fields
• Polarity
• Field Suppression
• Neutralization
• Field Induction
• Field Induced Discharges

These paddles are portable and can easily generate a static electric field strength of a few kilovolts. The paddle kit consists of one insulative plate and one conductive plate; both plates are isolated with an insulative handle.

Materials and Equipment Needed:

To take full advantage of your training paddles you’ll need a static field meter, a grounded ESD mat with common point ground (extra banana jacks), an air ionizer, an insulative work surface (regular plastic, cardboard, glass, etc.) and a wrist strap. Note: you can add or substitute an ionization test kit or charge plate analyzer for the static field meter.
