Chip Guard® MLD Series Varistor ESD Clamp Protectors
Description
The Chip Guard® CG0402MLD and CG0603MLD Series has 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 cpacitance with
excellent clamp qualities, making the family almost transparent under normal working conditions.
