ESD suppressors

A range of Würth ESD suppressors is available for applications including devices for portable electronics such as PDAs, MP3s, mobile phones, antennas, VGAs, USB and IEEE ports, and LANs.

In addition, the company offers designer kits with quantities of 20 components, suitable for DC voltages ranging from 5 to 26 and capacitances from 0.05 to 100 pF in single- and four-channel topologies. The kits are suitable for product development and free refills are offered.

The ESD devices are characterised by low clamping voltages and where necessary either by low capacitance to suit high-speed data transmission (eg, -3 dB at 1300 MHz) or capacitances offering RF noise mitigation. In general, bidirectional protection is provided at low leakage currents.
