## BOURNS ~~Ee~~ **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.
The ChipGuard[®] MLC Series has been manufactured to provide low 0.5 pF capacitance and leakage currents less than 5 nA with excellent clamp qualities, making the family almost transparent under normal working conditions.
