Does this offer any heat resistance if used on a non-heat resistant surface? I was looking at getting a silicone mat but their ESD protecting capabilities are probably not very good wondering if this would do the job or would I need to place it on top of a heat resistant mat?
The 326 is a solid metal plate which will dissipate heat well, we would recommend placing it on a work mat, silicone mat or something similar just to make sure there is no risk to the work surface.
There is a platform earth grounding point attached...
