ESD-Safe™ MLC Chips ESD Withstanding MLC Capacitor The ESD-Safe™ series is an enhanced MLC capacitor developed and designed specifically to be used in ESD (Electro Static Dicharge) prone applications. ESD-Safe™ capacitors are commonly utilized on the I/O pins of modules and systems connected to a wiring harness. These devices average the electrical potential of two objects due to ESD charging. ESD-Safe™ capacitors are offered in a wide capcitance value range so that the correct capacitance can be selected to minimize distortion on the circuit. ESD capacitors provide a method to integrate voltage differentials in low level transient fields.
