Transforming Technologies GK1000, Table Mat Grounding Kit, 1 CP2522 Ground Cord, 1 Ground Snaps CS1090
Transforming Technologies GK1000 – Table Mat Grounding Kit | CP2522 Ground Cord + CS1090 Universal Snap Kit
The Transforming Technologies GK1000 is a complete table mat grounding kit that provides all hardware required by ANSI/ESD S-6.1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 to properly ground an ESD workstation mat. The kit includes a CP2522 low-profile common point ground with two banana jacks (allowing two workers to plug in simultaneously) and a CS1090 universal snap kit for attaching to the mat. A 1 MΩ resistor is molded into the connection point for personnel protection. No additional hardware required — ready to install out of the box.
Sold individually (1 kit).

Frequently Asked Questions
What standards does the GK1000 satisfy for ESD workstation grounding?
The GK1000 meets the requirements of ANSI/ESD S-6.1 (Grounding) and ANSI/ESD S20.20 (ESD Control Program). These standards require that ESD table mats be connected to a verified ground point, with one ground connection per mat or per every 10 linear feet of matting. The GK1000 provides the complete hardware to satisfy this requirement without additional components.
Can two operators share one GK1000 grounding kit?
Yes. The CP2522 common point ground included in the kit has two banana jacks, allowing two wrist strap cords to plug into a single ground point simultaneously. This makes the GK1000 suitable for dual-operator workstations where both workers need to be grounded to the same mat ground point.
Why is there a 1 MΩ resistor in the ground cord?
The 1 megohm resistor is a personnel safety feature required by ESD standards. It limits the current that can flow through the ground path in the event of accidental contact with a live electrical circuit, protecting the operator from electrical shock while still providing an effective ESD ground path. This resistor is molded directly into the CP2522 connection point for reliability.
How do I install the GK1000 on my ESD mat?
Attach the CS1090 universal snap to your ESD mat at the designated ground snap location (typically marked on the mat). Connect the CP2522 ground cord snap to the CS1090 snap on the mat, then plug the other end into a verified ground point — such as a grounded outlet’s ground pin or a dedicated ESD ground bus. Verify the ground connection with an ESD workstation monitor or periodic resistance testing per your ESD control program.
