Heel Grounder
These professional-grade heel grounders provide effective grounding protection in static-sensitive environments, helping safely dissipate electrostatic charge from the body to the floor. Designed for comfort, durability, and consistent conductivity, these ESD grounding straps are essential for maintaining workplace safety and protecting sensitive electronic components.|
Product Overview
Our advanced heel grounders are engineered for dependable static control in electronics manufacturing, cleanroom environments, laboratories, and assembly facilities. Constructed from durable, non-marring 3-layer rubber material, these ESD heel straps help prevent static buildup while protecting flooring and footwear.
The outer black layer features a lightly textured surface that prevents slipping and surface damage. The middle layer contains conductive material that ensures efficient static discharge, while the smooth gray dissipative inner layer maintains consistent contact with footwear. A conductive nylon ribbon ensures constant body grounding, while the adjustable hook-and-loop strap provides a secure and comfortable fit for most users.
These static control heel straps are available with or without a built-in 1 meg ohm resistor and are designed to dissipate a 5,000-volt charge to zero in just 0.01 seconds, helping maintain compliance with ESD safety standards.
