ESD108EZ

The ESD108EZ is an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device manufactured by Magnecraft. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic components and circuits from damage caused by electrostatic discharge events.

Key Features:

• ESD Protection: The ESD108EZ provides robust protection against electrostatic discharge events, safeguarding sensitive electronic components from damage due to static electricity.
• High Surge Current Capability: It is capable of handling high surge currents generated during ESD events, ensuring reliable protection for electronic devices and circuits.
• Low Clamping Voltage: The device features a low clamping voltage, which limits the voltage across protected components during an ESD event, preventing voltage spikes from reaching damaging levels.
• Fast Response Time: With a fast response time, the ESD108EZ quickly clamps the voltage to a safe level when an ESD event occurs, minimizing the risk of damage to connected components.
• Low Capacitance: It has low capacitance characteristics, which help to minimize signal distortion and maintain signal integrity in high-speed data and communication systems.
• Bidirectional Protection: The ESD108EZ offers bidirectional protection, meaning it can protect against ESD events occurring on both positive and negative voltage rails.
• Small Form Factor: Housed in a compact package, the device has a small footprint, making it suitable for space-constrained applications and enabling easy integration into electronic circuit designs.
• RoHS Compliance: The ESD108EZ complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, ensuring that it is free from harmful substances such as lead and mercury, thereby promoting environmental sustainability.

Applications:

• Protection of integrated circuits (ICs), microcontrollers, and other semiconductor devices in electronic equipment and systems.
• Safeguarding of USB ports, HDMI ports, Ethernet ports, and other input/output (I/O) interfaces on computers, smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics.
• Protection of communication interfaces, such as RS-232, RS-485, CAN bus, and Ethernet, in industrial automation, automotive, and networking applications.
• Protection of sensor inputs, control lines, and power supply rails in automotive electronics, industrial control systems, and medical devices.
• Prevention of ESD damage in printed circuit boards (PCBs), connectors, and cables used in various electronic products and systems.
