Easy to use and disposable, the 3M™Shoe
Grounding Strap 2045 is an effective, economical
method to ensure your Static Safeguard System
is providing optimum protection.
Personnel often wear shoes with thick rubber
or cork soles. Insulative shoes of this type
prevent personnel from being grounded by ESD
mats and flooring. To ensure proper contact to
ground is maintained regardless of footwear, 3M
has developed the disposable shoe straps.
The Shoe Grounding Strap 2045 is a pressure-
sensitive strip of volume conductive material.
The strap clips to the upper shoe making contact
with the stocking (see instructions for use on
reverse side). The stocking retains a great deal
of body moisture and provides contact to the
person’s foot. The pressure-sensitive portion of
the strap is then affixed by a pressure sensitive
adhesive to the heel, assuring solid contact to
the bottom of the shoe.
The straps are desirable in situations where
mobility is needed, such as wave soldering,
automatic insertion, operation of computer
equipment, and visitors to a work area.
Disposable Shoe Grounding Straps 2045 are
manufactured in convenient perforated sheets
and are simply removed from the sheet a section
at a time.
