Description

Your bench stays grounded through the outlet you already have. The socket gives you a labelled earth point with a metal blade, and the coiled lead clips straight onto conductive yarn or equipment. It also covers EU, USA and UK plugs, so the same set works at the bench and on the road.

Earthing socket that lets you ground anti-static equipment and conductive yarn/braid through a standard wall outlet

Solves
  • Static build-up on workstations or electronics
  • Need for a grounded point when the mains outlet lacks an earth connection
  • Travel between regions with different plug standards

Ground your bench through the outlet you already have

Stop guessing where static goes. Plug in an earthing socket, clip the lead to your conductive yarn or equipment, and work on a grounded bench.

A simple ground point built to stay put

  • A direct ground point at the outlet

    The bare metal earth blade sits on the back of the socket with a brass contact screw and eyelet. The lead attaches to a defined point, not a random screw on the bench frame, so the connection is easy to find and check.

  • Snap-stud clip, ready in seconds

    The coiled white lead ends in a snap-stud earth clip. Clip it to conductive yarn, a mat or equipment chassis and you are grounded without rewiring anything. The coil stays tidy in the drawer between jobs.

  • Labelled for your outlet

    Each face is labelled EU, USA or UK, so you pick the right variant before you plug in. The compact plug profile keeps the set small enough to stay in a bench drawer or a travel bag.

Questions and answers

Is it safe to plug into my mains outlet, and how do I confirm the outlet has a working earth?
w
Wanelo · seller

Check the outlet has a working earth before you connect anything. A socket can only pass on an earth that is already there, so if the outlet has no earth, the socket gives you no real ground point. Confirm the variant matches the outlet, and make sure the plug sits firmly.

Does it work with my anti-static mat or conductive yarn, and can it replace an ESD resistor?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, the lead clips to conductive yarn, braid, mats or equipment chassis. It is not a replacement for an ESD resistor. Many workstation standards call for a controlled path, so check yours and add the required parts.

Which variant (EU, USA or UK) matches my outlet?
w
Wanelo · seller

Each face is labelled EU, USA or UK. Look at the plug type your outlet takes, then pick the matching face. If you travel, the variant you need depends on the destination, so check it before you pack.

Is the plastic body durable for daily bench use?
w
Wanelo · seller

The body is solid matte plastic with a metal earth blade. Inspect the blade and lead now and then for wear, and replace any part that looks damaged rather than running it on a bench.
