• Nylon knitted glove is form fitting, comes in
  4 sizes
• Choice where tactile sensitivity is important
  in handling small parts
• Use where cleanliness or charged device
  model (CDM) failures are a concern
• Personnel grounding devices can be tested
  with glove worn with regular wrist strap-
  footwear tester
• Good elasticity and ventilation minimizing
  sweat buildup
• Resistance 10E5 – 10E8 ohms tested per
  ANSI/ESD 5P15.1 Standard Practice for In-Use
  Resistance Testing of Gloves and Finger Cots

A properly grounded operator can touch a charged ESD sensitive device and a damaging ESD event can occur (Charged Device Model). Increasing the electrical path’s contact resistance is one way to control the speed of the discharge and reduce the possibilities of damage. A good way to accomplish this is by wearing static dissipative gloves.

“When gloves or finger cots are required, only cotton gloves, antistatic/ conductive gloves, or antistatic/conductive finger cots should be used when handling ESDS [ESD sensitive] devices.” [JESD625-A (Revision of EIA-625) paragraph 11.5 Gloves/finger cots]
