Electrostatic Discharge Protection Devices

Raychem PESD electrostatic discharge protection 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 exceptionally low capacitance, they perform better than other comparable components in TLP (transmission line pulse) testing, IEC61000-4-2 testing. The Raychem PESD device performs especially well 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. Adding ESD Protection to HDMI, even at 3.4GHz, Just Got Easier. Get the Whitepaper Now. (PDF 216KB)
