Static Solutions FG-7020 ESD Heel Grounder — Elastic Hook-and-Loop Enclosure, 1 MΩ Safety Resistor, Mobile Personnel Grounding for Electronics Work
ESD Control Heel Grounder Hook & Loop Enclosure Designed for Mobility Bag Unit: 1 Grounder Not Sold in Pairs
Overview

The Static Solutions FG-7020 is a reusable ESD heel grounder designed to help provide a continuous path to ground between the wearer and a properly grounded ESD floor system (ESD floor wax, ESD paint, or ESD rubber/PVC tiles). It is a practical choice for roles that require standing and walking between workstations — kitting, line support, inspection, test, rework, and pack-out.

SOSCleanroom supports ESD programs because static control directly impacts yield, reliability, and uptime. Ordering through SOSCleanroom helps teams standardize SKUs, keep spares available, and consolidate ESD + cleanroom/facility purchasing with one supplier.

Why this heel grounder matters
  • Mobile grounding control: footwear/flooring grounding is commonly used where wrist straps are impractical due to movement.
  • Reduces “invisible risk”: ESD events can damage sensitive components without a person feeling a shock, creating latent defects and reliability escapes.
  • Designed for predictable fit: adjustable hook-and-loop enclosure supports consistent wear across many shoe types.
  • System-friendly: published floor guidance and electrical performance targets support ESD program documentation and compliance verification plans.
Typical applications (cleanroom + non-cleanroom)
  • Electronics assembly, test, inspection, rework, and ESD-safe packaging
  • Controlled environments and cleanrooms where electronics are handled and static control is required
  • Repair depots, labs, service benches, and calibration/maintenance areas
  • Warehouse/stockroom staging where ESD-sensitive items are moved and handled
Key specifications (published)
Manufacturer / brand Static Solutions
SKU FG-7020
Bag unit 1 heel grounder (not sold in pairs)
Heel cup 0.060" (1.5 mm) thick, 1-3/8" wide dual elastomer; non-smudging interior; black exterior (non-smudging where noted)
Heel cup resistivity 103 – 105 ohms/sq
Enclosure Hook/loop (Velcro) fluorescent green
Resistor 1 megohm value, 1/4 watt (+/-10%) carbon film resistor
Tab Blue (or customized) 3/8" fray-resistant polyester tab with conductive carbon-suffused fibers
Tab-to-cup resistance 1 x 106 to 1 x 107 ohms
Floor guidance (published) Use on floor surface resistivity < 1010 ohms/sq

Program best-practice note: the manufacturer advises wearing ESD footwear on both feet to help maintain a continuous path-to-ground during walking. Since this SKU is not sold in pairs, many facilities purchase two per operator as standard issue.

Care, wear, and verification (practical)
  • Fit correctly: secure the heel cup and tighten the hook-and-loop enclosure so contact is maintained while walking.
  • Use the correct floor system: heel grounders are intended for grounded ESD floor finishes/tiles — standard floors may not provide predictable results.
  • Keep contact surfaces clean: debris and wear can degrade real-world performance.
  • Test and document: follow your facility’s ESD compliance verification plan (often using a heel grounder / combo tester) and remove failed units from service.

Why ESD is a yield problem (not just a “zap” problem)

Most people only notice static when the discharge is large enough to feel. The problem is that electronics can be damaged by ESD events that are far below human perception. In manufacturing and repair environments, that can create two kinds of loss: immediate failures and latent defects that pass test today but fail in the field later.

Key takeaway

“No shock felt” does not mean “no risk.” That is why ESD control programs rely on engineered grounding systems and routine verification — not intuition.

Footwear + flooring: the practical grounding approach for mobile operators

When operators are seated at an ESD workstation, wrist straps are commonly used. When operators must stand and walk, many programs ground personnel using a footwear/flooring system that connects the body through the footwear and floor to ground. That system approach is widely discussed in ESD program guidance, and it is why heel grounders remain a common control for mobile roles.

The practical implication is simple: a heel grounder is a system component. Real performance depends on pairing it with a properly grounded ESD floor and confirming that your overall system meets your program’s requirements.

Where the FG-7020 fits

The FG-7020 is designed to provide a continuous ground path between the user and a properly grounded ESD floor system and is positioned for job functions that require mobility. The manufacturer also advises wearing ESD footwear on both feet to help maintain continuity during walking.

Operational note (purchasing)

This SKU is sold as 1 heel grounder per bag. Many facilities standardize on two per operator (one for each foot) to align with common ESD program expectations for walking tasks.

How to get consistent results (field-proven habits)
  1. Start with the floor: confirm you are using a grounded ESD floor finish/tiles designed for personnel grounding.
  2. Wear correctly: secure heel cup placement and tighten the hook-and-loop enclosure so the ground path is stable during motion.
  3. Wear on both feet: reduces “time isolated from ground” while walking and supports steadier body voltage control.
  4. Verify and document: use your facility’s tester and follow your compliance plan (fail handling, replacement, retraining).
Why customers buy ESD controls from SOSCleanroom
  • Program-first buying: we support ESD controls as a system (grounding + verification + replenishment), not a one-off accessory.
  • Standardization support: consistent SKUs simplify training, reduce substitutions, and keep audits and engineering specs aligned.
  • Consolidated procurement: ESD items, facility supplies, and cleanroom consumables in one purchasing workflow.
  • Auto-Ship readiness: maintain spares and avoid production disruption when wear items need replacement.
