AVX Corporation (Greenville, SC) has developed a new series of enhanced MLC capacitors specifically designed for general ESD protection. The new ESD-Safe MLC Chips’ small footprint makes them ideal for high density electronic devices like automotive modules, which often use ESD caps on nearly every pin. Features include:

• Availability in standard 0603, 0805, and 1206 case sizes.
• Availability in 25, 50, and 100 V.
• A +/-15% capacitance variation.
• An operational temperatures range from -55° to 125°C.
