TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
TRUSTAT™ Conductive Footwear

Reusable Conductive Footwear Grounders provide continuous grounding of personnel to an ESD flooring system when worn over the shoe. Heel, toe, and cup-style grounders are adjustable to fit most types of shoes and one megohm resistors are available on all styles. Ground straps provide positive contact with the body inside the shoe. They vary in length to work with different styles of personal footwear. Richmond’s REUSABLE CONDUCTIVE HEEL GROUNDER includes a sewn-in conductive contact strap. The strap is available with or without a one megohm resistor. A second style of basic heel grounder is available with a snap on the side. A separate conductive contact strap is attached at the snap. REUSABLE CONDUCTIVE TOE GROUNDERS include a sewn-in conductive contact strap. The strap is available with or without a one megohm resistor. A second toe grounder is also available with a snap on both sides of the grounder, allowing the use of a detachable contact strap. REUSABLE CUP-STYLE HEEL GROUNDERS are available with a sewn-in conductive contact strap. The strap is available with or without a one megohm resistor. The cup-style heel grounder is also available with a snap on the side of the grounder. A separate conductive contact strap is attached at the snap. REUSABLE GROUNDSTRAPS are detachable ground straps (conductive contact straps), providing the positive contact between the body and the grounded surface, are available with or without a one megohm resistor. The resistor is located near the snap when included with the detachable ground strap.
