FR0507 ESD Disposable Heel Grounder

The FR0507 ESD Disposable Heel Grounder is a single-use grounding solution designed to protect sensitive electronic components and devices from electrostatic discharge (ESD). This lightweight and easy-to-use heel grounder is perfect for temporary workers, visitors, or situations where reusable solutions are impractical.

Key Features:

1. Disposable Design:

• Intended for single-use applications, ensuring hygiene and eliminating the need for cleaning or maintenance.
• Ideal for environments with high personnel turnover or temporary ESD grounding requirements.

2. Effective ESD Protection:

• Provides a safe and reliable path to ground by dissipating static charges through conductive flooring.
• Meets international ESD standards such as ANSI/ESD S20.20 and EN 61340-5-1 for performance and reliability.

3. Convenient and Adjustable Fit:

• Features a self-adhesive strap that easily attaches to most types of footwear, including boots, sneakers, and dress shoes.
• Adjustable design ensures a secure and snug fit for a wide variety of shoe sizes.

4. Integrated Conductive Ribbon:

• Equipped with a conductive grounding ribbon that is placed inside the shoe to make direct contact with the user’s skin or conductive socks.
• Ensures consistent static discharge during use.

5. Lightweight and Compact:

• Minimalistic design allows for easy transportation and storage, making it suitable for quick deployment in dynamic environments.

6. Cleanroom-Safe Materials:

• Made from low-shedding, cleanroom-compatible materials, suitable for environments ranging from Class 100 to Class 10,000.

Applications:

• Electronics Manufacturing: Protects sensitive components during handling or assembly by temporary personnel.
• Cleanrooms: Ensures compliance with ESD and contamination control standards.
• Visitors and Contractors: Provides grounding for short-term personnel in ESD-controlled areas.
• Field Service and Repairs: Convenient solution for technicians working on-site in ESD-sensitive environments.
• Training and Temporary Workstations: Ideal for short-term use during training sessions or setup phases.

Benefits:

1. Cost-Effective: Affordable, disposable solution for temporary grounding needs.
2. Hygienic: Eliminates the need for cleaning or maintenance, reducing cross-contamination risks.
3. User-Friendly: Quick and easy to apply, requiring no special tools or training.
4. Portable: Lightweight and compact, suitable for on-the-go applications.
5. Compliant: Meets global ESD standards, ensuring reliable static control.

Care and Usage Instructions:

1. Application:
   • Remove the adhesive backing and attach the heel grounder to the underside of your shoe, ensuring the conductive ribbon is placed inside the shoe.
   • Ensure the adhesive is firmly secured for reliable grounding.
2. Testing:
   • Test with an ESD footwear tester before entering static-sensitive areas to confirm proper grounding.
3. Disposal:
   • Dispose of the heel grounder after use following local waste disposal regulations.

Considerations:

• Suitable for temporary use only; for long-term applications, consider reusable heel straps.
• Requires conductive flooring or mats to function effectively.
• Ensure the conductive ribbon maintains direct contact with the user’s skin or conductive socks for optimal performance.
