Description

The MLA Series (also known as ML series) family of transient voltage surge suppression devices is based on the Littelfuse Multilayer fabrication technology. These components are designed to suppress a variety of transient events, including those specified in IEC 61000-4-2 or other standards used for Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC). The MLA Series is typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other components at the circuit board level.

Features

• RoHS compliant

• Leadless 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 and 1210 chip sizes

• Multilayer ceramic construction technology

• -55°C to +125°C operating temp. range

• Operating voltage range VM(DC) = 5.5V to 120V

• Rated for surge current (8 x 20μs)

• Rated for energy (10 x 1000μs)

• Inherent bi-directional clamping

• Standard low capacitance types available

Applications

• Suppression of inductive switching or other transient events such as EFT and surge voltage at

the circuit board level

• ESD protection for IEC 61000-4-2, MIL-STD-883c method 3015.7, and other industry specifications (see also the MLE or MLN Series)

• Provides on-board transient voltage protection for ICS and transistors

• Used to help achieve electromagnetic compliance of end products

• Replace larger surface mount TVS Zeners in many applications
