ESD Heel Strap Grounder

Description

• MADE OF HIGHLY DURABLE NON MARKING TWO LAYER RUBBER with an 18″ flat nylon ribbon with 1M ohm buried resistor. The outer portion of the foot strap is conductive black layer and inner white portion of the strap is white dissipative layer. This creates perfect grounder of electrostatic discharge protecting electronic components, parts and computers inside the lab or manufacturing environment with proper use of ESD mat or flooring material.
• ALLOWS FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AROUND THE LAB OR MANUFACTURING environment without the restriction of a wrist strap ground cord leashing you to a bench. It provides protection during standing or moving while allowing the person to carry out normal everyday activities at work without interruption. The easy installation of the foot strap makes them highly desirable in the electronic industry.
• ONE SIZE FITS ALL design makes it great and reliable for small and large shoes worn by either men or women in the lab or manufacturing environment. The asymmetrical design of the ESD foot strap heel grounder is such that it can be worn on either side of the left or right foot without the chance of decreasing the protection properties.
• HOOK AND LOOP DESIGN MAKES IT EASY TO USE. These are made of expandable material on on side and velcro on the other side. Simply place the shoe inside the strap lining and insert the 18″ flat nylon inside the shoe below the heel or inside the sock for better contact against the skin and then fasten the two loops together by closing them firmly on top of the shoe so that it’s tight and secure. The nylon ribbon should make contact with skin in order to provide a closed path to ground.
• ESD FOOT STRAPS ARE VERY ECONOMICAL COMPARED TO ESD SHOES which can BE VERY COSTLY AND can fail at any time. These are reliable and durable over extended periods of time with proper use.
• In some special situation, Anti-static foot grounder will take place of anti-static wrist strap, and it is more economical than anti-static shoes
• The principle is that the earthing line in socks will remove static of body through earthing foot grounder, conductive mat and the earthing line. So the earthling line must contact with skin
• The user should wear the two foot grounder and avoid walking on the area without static protection
• Wearing the conductive ribbon inside the shoe or sock assures proper electrical contact with the user
• The ribbon connects to the conductive rubber to complete the circuit between the operator and the static controlled floor or mat.
