MLC Chips
ESD Withstanding MLC Capacitor
The ESD-Safe™ series is an enhanced MLC capacitor developed and
designed specifically to be used in ESD (Electro Static Dicharge) prone
applications.
ESD-Safe™ capacitors are commonly utilized on the I/O pins of modu-
les and systems connected to a wiring harness.
These devices average the electrical potential of two objects due to
ESD charging.
ESD-Safe™ capacitors are offered in a wide capcitance value range so
that the correct capacitance can be selected to minimize distortion on
the circuit. ESD capacitors provide a method to integrate voltage diffe-
rentials in low level transient fields.
