Chris, I bought a very nice set from Radio Shack that contained a nice wrist strap and the anti-static mat with a long ground lead for around $30. The wrist strap has a bananna plug that plugs into a mount on the mat itself and from that central point the ground wire (10' long) with an alligator clip on the end. That makes a solid connection to the same point and worked very well for me. I would say that mat needs to be grounded and tied to the wrist strap, or I would think, at least grounded at the same point. Hope that helps, and can look up a stock number if you don't see it on the RS site. The mat is bright red, hi. 73, Don, WB5HAK
