CDS3 - EPCOS

CDS3 CeraDiode Reliable ESD protection of single lines

Due to the ongoing miniaturization, today’s electronic devices are more and more sensitive to electrostatic discharges (ESD) and overvoltages. Therefore reliable protection components become absolutely necessary to harden your valuable electronics against the impact of ESD. CeraDiodes are ceramic semiconductors optimized specifically for high performance in .
