FOOT GROUND, HEEL
Description:
The 17200, 17202, and 17210 Foot Grounders provide 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. Foot grounder models 17200 and 17202 have discrete resistors
built into the contact strip. Model 17200 has a one megohm resistor and model 17202
has a two megohm resistor. The product has been tested to ESD STM97.2 - Floor
Materials and Footwear Voltage Measurement in Combination with a Person. It is a
suitable ESD footwear component in Flooring - Footwear System when used as the
primary grounding method (<3.5 x 107 ohms per ESD STM 97.1 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 neoprene, 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.
listed for safety and date coded.
Tab to cup resistance:
106 - 107 Ohms @ 100 volts
Note:
Two heel straps are recommended for reliable grounding and ESD
protection, providing ground when one foot is off the floor.
Operator is grounded when foot is in contact with grounded dissipative or
conductive flooring.
Desco recommends the use of foot ground tester item No. 19252 or
19253.
For additional information on the use and maintenance of foot grounders
please ask for Technical Bulletins TB-2020 and TB-2040.
Items 17200 and 17202 are UL listed.

Our UL listed foot grounders are rated at 250 VAC. It is not recommended to use them where exposure
to line voltages above 250 VAC is possible. Caution: The foot grounder is for ESD control. It will not
reduce or increase your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
