Description

ESD Heel Grounder – Adjustable, Durable Foot Grounding for EPA Workspaces

Bondline’s ESD Heel Grounder (HS5) provides reliable, continuous grounding for personnel working inside an ESD Protected Area (EPA). Designed with a single elasticated heel strap and a hook‑and‑loop (D‑ring) fastening, this heel grounder offers a secure, comfortable fit while ensuring safe dissipation of static electricity when used with grounded ESD flooring or matting. Built for durability and long‑term use, the HS5 is ideal for electronics manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and repair environments. The ESD Heel Grounder has an elasticated back for extra comfort and incorporates a 1 meg ohm safety resistor as standard.

All grounding products are manufactured to the highest quality to ensure high comfort and long life. Heel straps should be worn on both feet for effective static dissipation to ground. We recommend testing the heel straps before every use with a CWST3 footwear test station.
