B72500D300H60 - 

Reliable surface mount ESD protection of single lines

Description:
Due to the ongoing miniaturization, today\quote s electronic devices are more and more sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD) and overvoltages. Therefore reliable protection components become absolutely necessary to harden your valuable electronics against the impact of ESD.
CeraDiodes are ceramic semiconductors optimized specifically for high performance in Electro Static Discharge (ESD) applications. The device has a non-linear voltage/current characteristic that is highly optimized for effectively suppressing extremely fast voltage transients. The device offers superior parametric stability over the complete operating range 40°C to +85°C.
CeraDiodes are bi-directional devices. A single CeraDiode\'ae connected from signal/dataline to ground routes both positive and negative ESD transitions safely to the ground plane. This technique eliminates the need to route ESD charge into the power plane, possibility damaging nearby integrated circuits.
