ODAX EDA Contact Strap - White
Reusable hook-and-loop finger strap with Ag/AgCl skin-contact electrode and 3.9 mm snap stud interface for EDA/GSR lead connections.
Overview
The ODAX EDA Contact Strap (White) is a reusable hook-and-loop contact strap intended to secure an Ag/AgCl electrode against the skin for electrodermal activity (EDA) and galvanic skin response (GSR) measurements. It provides a stable mechanical hold during measurement and interfaces to standard electrode leads via a snap stud connector.
Unless stated otherwise, 2 contact straps can be expected with each order.

Recommended Use
- Clean and dry the skin at the contact location.
- (Optional) Apply a small amount of electrode contact gel to the skin or to the electrode contact surface.
- Place the Ag/AgCl contact side against the skin.
- Wrap the strap around the finger and secure using the hook-and-loop closure.
- Connect the electrode lead to the snap stud and route the cable to minimize motion during measurement.
Notes on Contact Gel
Contact gel is recommended when skin is dry or when maximum signal stability is required. In some conditions and for some users, acceptable EDA and GSR measurements may be obtained without gel. Measurement quality depends on skin condition, pressure, motion, and the connected sensor system.
Handling and Storage
- Store in a clean, dry environment and keep the contact surface free of dust and oils.
- Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if discomfort or irritation occurs.
- Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress on the snap stud.
- For cleaning guidance, validate your cleaning method for your application and environment.
