TDK Corporation presents a new series of EPCOS multilayer varistors of the CeraDiode family, which includes the most compact, flattest and most rugged varistor for the ESD protection of mobile equipment. It has a footprint of only 0.47 mm x 0.47 mm at an extremely low profile of 0.1 mm in LGA packaging. These new SMD protection components are available in EIA case sizes of 0402, 0201 and even smaller. This enables the production of varistors that are thus about 80 percent smaller than their predecessors and simultaneously offer extremely reliable ESD protection.
