Non ESD-Safe Soldering iron to ESD-Safe
« on: June 17, 2011, 08:09:02 pm »
I have finished reading a DIY tutorial about making a non esd-safe soldering iron to an ESD-safe soldering iron by just grounding the soldering tip. ??? ??? ???

My question is DOES IT really make an ESD-Safe Iron? and Please share your thoughts about this method or any other method for Non ESD-Safe -> ESD-Safe

That’s the only method I know of.
Remember, it’s also important that you use an ESD Wrist Strap when handling/soldering ESD sensitive devices.
