anti static mat the same as a grounding mat?

[Carolyn_2]

is a grounding mat and anti static mat the same?

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

Yes, two names for the same thing.

If both types of mats are connected to an earth ground then they both will perform the same purpose.

If you place an non-grounded anti static mat on a non-conductive surface like a wooden table then the mat will accumulate a static charge.
