This Foot Grounder provides a continuous ground path between an operator and a properly grounded ESD protected flooring. These foot grounders are designed for use on standard shoes. They can be easily adjusted to fit most individuals. Desco's foot grounders have a lining that prevents carbon marks on shoes. This foot grounder model has a discrete resistor that is built into the contact strip. It has been tested to ESD STM97.2 - floot materials and footwear component in flooring - footwear system when used as the primary grounding method (< 3.5 x 10^7 ohmd per ESD STM97.1 Floor Materials and Footwear-Resistance Measurement in Combination with a Person).
Components:
A. 0.060" thick, two-layer laminated rubber sole. Inner layer is insulative reoprene, and outer black layer is conductive neoprene. Tear resistant nylon reinforced 4.3 oz. inner scrim layer prevents the rubber from tearing.
B. 3/8" wide, 30" long blue nylon ribbon contains 8 electrically conductive carbon suffused fibers, reversible may be positioned on either side of foot.
C. 3/4" wide blue non-elastic hook material
D. 3/4" wide blue stretch loop material, for quick and easy attachment to foot
Tab to cup resistance: 10^6 - 10^7 Ohms @ 100 volts
