Electrostatic Discharge Protection Devices

Raychem PESD electrostatic discharge devices help protect I/O ports in high-speed data transmission applications. PESD devices shunt electrostatic discharge (ESD) away from sensitive circuitry in electronic devices. The PESD devices provide low capacitance and performance against IEC61000-4-2 testing, especially after multiple hits (up to 1000). The devices offer a lower trigger voltage and a lower clamping voltage than typical polymer ESD devices. This is critical for improved protection of sensitive electronic components.
