## BOURNS ~~ER~~ **ChipGuard[®] MLC Series  - ESD Protectors** 

## ~~**General Information**~~ 

The ChipGuard[®] MLC Series has been specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge damage. The MLC family has been designed to protect equipment to IEC61000-4-2, Level 4 (±8 kV Contact / ±15 kV Air Discharge) ESD specifications targeted for high speed USB 3.0/USB OTG, HDMI 1.4, DVI or IEEE1394 applications. 

## ~~**Device Symbol**~~

- This product can be damaged by rapid heating, cooling or localized heating. 

- Heat shocks should be avoided. Preheating and gradual cooling recommended. 

- Excessive solder can damage the device. Print solder thickness of 150 to 200 um recommended. 

- Solder gun tip temperature should be kept below 280 °C and should not touch the device directly. Contact should be less than 3 seconds. A solder gun under 30 watts is recommended. 

The device characteristics and parameters in this data sheet can and do vary in different applications and actual device performance may vary over time.
