Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides technical specifications for the ChipGuard® MLA Series Varistor ESD Clamp Protectors, designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD). These devices are available in 0402 and 0603 package options and are rated for IEC 61000-4-2, level 4, indicating their robustness against multiple ESD strikes. They feature low capacitance and leakage currents, making them suitable for invisible load protection. The products are RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Specifications
The MLA series operates over a wide voltage range from 5.5 V to 26 V DC, with an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. The response time is less than 1 ns, ensuring quick protection against ESD events. The devices are packaged in tape and reel for ease of use in manufacturing.

Electrical Characteristics
The document lists various models with specific electrical characteristics such as Vrms, VDC, VN Min/Max, VC, ITM, WTM, and CP. For example, the CG0402MLA-5.5MG model has a Vrms of 4 V, VDC of 5.5 V, and a typical capacitance of 270 pF.

Environmental Characteristics
The devices are designed to operate within a temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C, making them suitable for various environmental conditions.

Ordering Information
The document provides a detailed guide on how to order these devices, including package options, operating voltage, tolerance, and packaging details. It also notes that certain models are not recommended for new designs.

Soldering Recommendations
The document outlines soldering guidelines to prevent damage during assembly, recommending preheating and gradual cooling to avoid heat shocks. It specifies solder gun temperature limits and suggests using a solder gun under 30 watts.

Dimensions and Layout
