Static Solutions FG-7030 Disposable ESD Heel Grounder — Visitor/Temporary Personnel Grounding for Electronics and Static-Controlled Areas (100/Case)
ESD Control Disposable / Single-Use Heel-to-Floor Ground Path Visitors / Contractors Compatible with Combo Testers Non-Black Material 18" Conductive Ribbon 100 / Case
Overview

The FG-7030 is a disposable (single-use) ESD heel grounder designed to provide a practical, economical static-control option for visitors, tours, contractors, and temporary personnel entering an ESD-controlled space. Heel grounders help provide a continuous ground path between the user and a properly grounded ESD floor system, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) events that can damage sensitive electronics.

SOSCleanroom supports ESD programs because static control protects yield, reliability, and uptime. Ordering through SOSCleanroom helps teams standardize SKUs, keep spares on hand, and consolidate ESD + facility purchasing with one supplier.

Why ESD heel grounders matter (especially in electronics)
  • ESD damage can be invisible: many electronic components are susceptible to damage at voltages below what people can feel.
  • Supports mobility: heel/floor grounding is commonly used where workers need to walk between stations, kitting areas, inspection, and pack-out.
  • Visitor control: disposable grounders help extend program discipline to non-badged personnel without issuing reusable PPE.
  • Floor system dependent: performance relies on pairing with the right ESD floor (wax/paint/tiles per your ESD program).
Typical applications
  • Electronics assembly, test, inspection, rework, and ESD-safe packaging
  • Cleanrooms or controlled environments where electronics are handled and ESD control is required
  • Visitor tours, contractor support, equipment installs, calibration visits
  • Non-cleanroom operations that still require ESD discipline (repair depots, service benches, labs, IT staging)

Program note: to help maintain a continuous path to ground during walking, many ESD programs require ESD footwear/grounders to be worn on both feet.

Quick use guidance (best practice)
  • Use on an ESD floor system: heel grounders rely on a properly grounded ESD floor finish/paint/tiles per your site plan.
  • Fit matters: ensure firm contact and secure adhesion at the heel; route the ribbon into the shoe per your facility procedure.
  • Verify compliance: if your program uses a combo tester, test before entry and follow your pass/fail process.

Why ESD control belongs in the same conversation as quality and yield

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the easiest ways to lose yield without realizing it. Many electronic components are susceptible to ESD damage at voltages below what people can feel. In production, that creates two risks: immediate failures and latent defects that escape and show up later as reliability issues.

In cleanrooms where electronics are involved, static control is often even more important because low humidity and constant movement can increase charge generation. In non-cleanroom environments, ESD is still a major threat in electronics assembly, test, repair, and packaging.

Footwear/flooring grounding: the practical control for standing and walking work

When operators are seated at an ESD workstation, wrist straps are commonly used. When operators need to stand and walk between stations, many ESD programs rely on a flooring/footwear system to keep personnel voltage controlled during movement.

Visitor control is not optional

Contractors, tours, and temporary workers still touch doors, carts, tools, benches, and sometimes product. A disposable heel grounder is a practical way to extend your ESD program into “short duration” access without handing out reusable PPE.

What the FG-7030 is designed to do

The FG-7030 is a disposable heel grounder designed to provide a continuous ground path between the user and a properly grounded ESD floor system. It is described as cost effective and intended for visitors, and it is published as compatible with combo testers. It also uses a non-black material (published: will not contaminate shoe or floor) and an 18" conductive ribbon intended to stay in the shoe during use.

System reminder

Heel grounders are a system component, not a standalone fix. Performance depends on a grounded ESD floor, correct wear, and verification/testing per your facility plan.

How to wear heel grounders for consistent results
  1. Use on an ESD floor: heel grounders are intended for grounded ESD floor wax/paint/tiles per your site design.
  2. Secure the heel contact: ensure high adhesion at the heel and a snug fit so contact is not lost during walking.
  3. Route the ribbon correctly: place the conductive ribbon into the shoe per your site procedure so it remains in place throughout movement.
  4. Wear on both feet: many programs require both feet to help maintain continuity during walking and reduce time isolated from ground.
  5. Test and document: use a combo tester if required, and follow your compliance verification plan (pass/fail action, replacement, retraining).
Why customers source ESD controls from SOSCleanroom
  • Program-friendly standardization: consistent SKUs simplify training, visitor procedures, and purchasing controls.
  • Consolidated procurement: ESD products plus cleanroom/facility consumables in the same purchasing flow.
  • Auto-Ship support: keep disposable visitor items stocked to reduce “no PPE available” entry events.
  • Selection support: we help customers align footwear, floors, testers, and consumables so the system works in real operations.
