ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for discharging accumulated electrostatic charge from the human body includes a conductive ring to be worn on a finger. A first connector is attached to and electrically connected to the conductive ring. A cable with a mating connector plugs into the first connector. A second connector at the other end of the cable is connected to ground. A series resistor, located in the mating connector housing, limits current flow to a safe level in the event the user comes into contact with a high voltage high current source.
