Desco Introduces New stat-A-REST™ Foot Grounder

foot grounderDesco has introduced the new stat-A-Rest™ foot grounder. stat-A-REST™ is a new, innovative ESD footwear product. The product employs a unique static dissipation unit-sole securely affixed to the bottom of the user’s footwear through a lightweight elastomer perimeter attachment system.

stat-A-REST™ provides a superior footwear solution in ESD-sensitive workplaces over alternatives in the market including strap-type products and ESD shoes. The electrical performance of stat-A-Rest™ footwear is excellent, with values in the mid 107 ohms range for operator resistance-to-ground measurements made using the methods called out in ANSI/ESD STM97.1. stat-A-REST™ foot grounders are made in the United States of America.

  • Full-Coverage Foot Grounder with Contact Points on Sole and Heel 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 8-Strand Nylon Polyester Grounding Tab
    Additional conductive material provides reliable connection with operator’s sweat-layer.
  • Made in the United States of America
    This item is stocked in Canton, MA

*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

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.
