rubber gloves
This might be a stupid question - I have ordered a wrist anti static strap but I was wondering, would wearing rubber gloves inhibit static when assembling an ms board?

Re: rubber gloves
Rubber and latex, like most insulators, can build a significant charge. There are static dissipative (i.e. conductive) latex gloves, but you should still use an ESD wrist strap with them.

IMO, the wrist strap is pretty much a must. I doubt that rubber gloves are necessary but would keep body oils etc. from contaminating the board contacts.jjmclure wrote:This might be a stupid question - I have ordered a wrist anti static strap but I was wondering, would wearing rubber gloves inhibit static when assembling an ms board?
The big plus would be no finger prints! (they will never trace the board back to you!)
