Desco 24723 Grounding Shoe Strap Universal Hook Loop

Product Description

The DESCO 24723 is a universal grounding shoe strap designed to safely discharge static electricity from personnel working in electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive environments. The strap attaches to the heel or toe of standard footwear using a hook and loop closure, creating a continuous conductive path from the wearer to a grounded surface or ESD floor mat. It includes an integrated resistor and conductive strand for controlled, personnel-safe grounding. Installers and technicians in electronics assembly, cleanrooms, and similar environments rely on this type of strap to protect sensitive components from electrostatic damage.

This strap is suited for use on hard or semi-conductive flooring surfaces in environments where ESD controls are required, such as electronics manufacturing floors, repair benches, and static-protected work areas. Its universal size accommodates most adult footwear. The hook and loop attachment method makes it easy to apply and remove without tools, supporting fast transitions between ESD and non-ESD zones. It is a reusable, non-disposable device intended for regular daily use.

Key Features

• Universal size fits most adult footwear without adjustment beyond hook and loop closure
• Integrated resistor provides personnel-safe controlled grounding path
• Conductive strand maintains continuous contact between footwear and grounded surface
• Hook and loop attachment method requires no tools and supports quick on and off use
• Reusable, non-disposable construction for sustained daily service
• Gray color for straightforward visual identification on the work floor

Compatibility

Designed for use on ESD-rated flooring surfaces, grounding mats, and floor grounding systems in static-protected work areas. Fits standard adult footwear with a heel or toe area suitable for hook and loop attachment.

Installation Notes

ESD shoe straps are typically fitted by the end user at the entry point of an ESD-protected area and verified with a personnel grounding tester before entering the work zone. Ensure the conductive strand makes full contact with the floor surface throughout use. Inspect the strap and resistor periodically for wear, damage, or continuity failure, and replace immediately if testing indicates an open circuit. Follow your facility ESD control program procedures per ANSI/ESD standards.
