ChipGuard® MLD Series Varistor ESD Clamp Protectors
Description
®
The Chip Guard CG0402MLD and CG0603MLD Series have been specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from
electrostatic discharge damage. The MLD family has been designed to protect equipment to IEC61000-4-2, level 4 ESD specifications
®
targeted for high speed data applications. The Chip Guard MLD Series has been manufactured to provide very low capacitance with
excellent clamp qualities, making the family almost transparent under normal working conditions.
