Heel grounders are used for temporary personal grounding protection in electrostatically protected areas (EPA). They are worn over the shoe and have a conductive contact tongue that is inserted into the shoe and makes contact with the skin. In combination with a suitable ESD floor, they enable the controlled dissipation of electrostatic charges. Heel grounders are particularly suitable for visitors or short-term activities in ESD-protected areas. Available in different wearing systems depending on the design.
