stat-A-REST full coverage ESD foot grounder, blue TPE, size M (EU 39-43) - Desco 249276

Conventional heel grounders easily lose contact with the floor when the wearer walks, so they need more frequent checks. The stat-A-REST 249276 foot grounder covers the sole and heel of a standard shoe and keeps far more reliable contact with the grounded ESD floor. It is easier to fit than most foot grounders and has a resistance of 1 x 10⁷ to below 1 x 10⁸ ohms per IEC 61340-2-3.

Key benefits

• Full coverage with contact at sole and heel for steady charge drain while walking
• Turns standard shoes into part of a person, footwear and flooring ESD system, no shoe modification needed
• Meets the EN 61340-5-1 system limits of below 1 x 10⁹ ohms and below 100 V body voltage
• Non-marring thermoplastic elastomer, tear and chemical resistant, leaves no marks
• 76.2 cm conductive grounding tab in 8-strand nylon polyester

Applications

For staff and visitors in the EPA who walk a lot or change workstations, and wherever highly sensitive components are handled. Place the grounding tab inside the shoe under the foot. Wear one on each foot and check with a footwear tester before every entry into the EPA.

Standards

Dissipative footwear per EN 61340-5-1, resistance measured per IEC 61340-2-3. For the person, footwear and flooring system the standard requires less than 1 x 10⁹ ohms and less than 100 V body voltage. RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and REACH compliant. Patented (US 8189318 B2).
