AVX is proud to introduce the new ESD-Safe™ MLC Capacitor, an enhanced capacitor developed and designed specifically for general ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection of I/O gates. The AEC-Q200 qualified ESD-Safe MLC Capacitor from AVX is used on nearly every pin of an automotive module where ESD problems can sometimes arise during the initial assembly/mating to the harness. These capacitors average the electrical potential of two objects due to ESD charging. The wide capacitance value range (1nF-2.2µF) of ESD-Safe MLC Capacitors ensures that the correct capacitance is selected to minimize distortion of the circuit. A small footprint makes these capacitors ideal for high density electronic devices. These advanced MLCCs offer superior protection in ESD prone applications.
