Shouldn't ESD safe ceramic tweezers be non-conductive? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk |

They have to be conductive to get rid of ESD charge I would say... |

I thought the idea was to not conduct ESD from your body into your project. Like ceramic trim cap adjusters. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk |

They need to dissipate the charge. They also work in conjunction with your wrist strap. Without the wrist strap, they are not very effective. As much as they are effective in a first place. Trim cap adjusters are ceramic to not introduce additional inductance and capacitance, not because of ESD protection. |

I was thinking the point of the ceramic tweezer tips was complete isolation from the circuit (like the screwdrivers). Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk |
