Grounding Device converts non-ESD footwear to ESD footwear.
Press Release Summary:
Used with normal footwear, Sole Grounder with Snap-Loc fastening system provides ESD control. Surface area is maximized for contact with floor, and tab-to-cup resistance is 1 x 106 to < 1 x 108 Ω. Along with tear-resistant nylon reinforcement, features include 30 in. long, 8 conductive strand nylon polyester grounding tab and 2 megohm series resistor. UL-listed product meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 <100 V peak body voltage requirement and offers point-to-groundable point resistance of <1 x 109 Ω.
Original Press Release:
Desco Introduces New Snap-Loc Sole Grounder
Canton, MA – Desco has introduced the new Snap-Loc Sole Grounder for ESD control in conjunction with normal footwear.
The new Desco Sole Grounder with Snap-Loc fastening system features a larger surface area for contact with the floor than standard foot grounders. It has a tab-to-cup resistance of 1 x 106 to < 1 x 108 ohms and is reinforced with tear resistant nylon to prevent the rubber from tearing. It also features a 30” long, 8 conductive strand nylon polyester grounding tab and a two megohm series resistor. The sole grounder is UL listed and available in five sizes: X-Small through X-Large to accommodate both men and women.
• Sole Grounder with Large Contact Area
Converts non-ESD footwear to ESD footwear; choice for when handling more sensitive devices (Human Body Model Class 0A)*
• Walking Voltage Generation <50 Volts Tested per ANSI/ESD STM97.2
Easily meets the ANSI/ESD S20.20 < 100 volt peak body voltage requirement for use as an ESD footwear component in personnel grounding footwear / flooring system.
• Point-to-Groundable Point Resistance < 1 x 109 ohms
Meets ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit tested per ANSI/ESD STM97.1, ESD SP9.2, and ESD TR53
• Tear and Chemical Resistant Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Material
Increases the service life of foot grounder.
• Non-Marring Material
Will not leave marks on floors (or operator’s shoes); reducing maintenance costs of touching up on floors.
• Conductive 30” Long Polyester Grounding Tab
Additional conductive material provides reliable connection with operator’s sweat-layer.
• UL Listed and Date Coded
• Made in the United States of America

Snap-Loc Sole Grounders are available in five sizes:
17239 -Â XSmall
17240 -Â Small
17241 -Â Medium
17242 -Â Large
17243 -Â XLarge
*Foot grounders must be used with an ESD floor (recommend conductive flooring < 1 x 106 ohms) to create a path-to-ground and minimize charge generation
