Description

Description

  • Key performance benefit: Provides continuous grounding for mobile personnel, maintaining electrostatic discharge control while in motion.
  • Material & construction: Constructed with a durable conductive rubber cup and a stretch hook and loop elastic strap. The symmetrical, reversible cup design allows the product to be flipped to extend usable life.
  • Risk reduction/compliance benefit: Reduces static buildup by maintaining electrical contact between the user and grounded flooring systems, minimizing risk of ESD damage.
  • Protection level: Includes a built-in 1-megohm resistor for controlled discharge and operator safety.
  • Comfort & usability: Elastic stretch strap adjusts during movement to maintain secure contact while improving comfort and fit around footwear.
  • Safety & compliance assurance: Meets or exceeds ANSI ESD-S20.20 requirements.

FAQs

When should heel grounders be used instead of wrist straps?

Heel grounders are preferred when operators need mobility and cannot remain connected to a fixed workstation. They are commonly used in environments where personnel move between areas, allowing continuous grounding through conductive flooring rather than requiring a direct connection to a grounding point.

Why is it recommended to wear heel grounders on both feet?

Wearing heel grounders on both feet helps ensure consistent electrical contact with the floor during movement. As one foot may lift while walking, the other maintains contact, providing continuous grounding and reducing the risk of static charge buildup in dynamic work environments.

How does the reversible design extend product lifespan?

The reversible cup allows users to flip the grounding contact surface once one side shows wear. This enhances usability without requiring immediate replacement, making it a practical option for high-use environments where durability and cost-efficiency are important considerations.

What types of flooring are required for proper performance?

Heel grounders require conductive or dissipative flooring to function effectively. Without appropriate flooring, grounding performance may be limited. They are best used in ESD-controlled environments where flooring systems are designed to support static dissipation through contact with conductive materials.

What handling and fit considerations ensure reliable grounding?

The strap should be adjusted to fit securely around the shoe to maintain consistent contact with the floor. Ensuring the conductive ribbon remains properly positioned under the foot is important for performance. Regular inspection for wear or damage helps maintain reliable grounding during use.
