The Transguard multilayer varistor clamps transients, filters EMI, and features 16-Vdc rating with a 20-pF capacitance in a 0201 case. The device targets handheld devices including cell phones and PDAs, as well as embedded components such as hearing aids and camera modules.
The multilayer varistor offers multiple strike capability and can withstand 1,000 strikes at 8 kV of contact. It features a sub-1-ns response time to an ESD strike and has a maximum leakage current of 50 µA at rated voltage. (From $0.005 to $0.024 — available now.)
