The ChipGuard CG0603MLC Series has been specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge damage. The MLC family has been designed to protect equipment to IEC61000-4-2, level 4 ESD specifications targeted for high speed USB 2.0 or IEEE1394 applications. The ChipGuard MLC Series has been manufactured to provide very low capacitance and leakage currents with excellent clamp qualities, making the family almost transparent under normal working conditions.
