September 18, 2015 – Mouser Electronics, Inc. is the first to stock and ship the new XGD Series XTREME-GUARD™ ESD suppressors from Littelfuse. These devices protect sensitive electronic equipment against extreme electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions in very small 0402 and 0603 flat-topped surface mount packages. The series is specifically designed to suppress fast-rising electrostatic discharges up to 30kV while adding virtually no capacitance to the circuit, which helps preserve signal integrity and minimize data loss. Based on breakthrough ESD technology, XGD Series devices are suitable for high voltage applications up to 32VDC.
Littelfuse XGD Series XTREME-GUARD ESD suppressors, available from Mouser Electronics, can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes nearly four times the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation, when correctly integrated into a circuit design. Extremely low capacitance makes the XGD Series suitable for use in high-frequency and high-speed data, video, antenna and I/O circuits. Even after multiple ESD strikes, XGD Series devices exhibit ultra-low current leakage (less than 1nA), ensuring minimal power losses, making them ideal for protecting battery-powered electronics like wearables. Both sizes offer much higher voltage ratings than other ESD suppressors with similar board footprints; they also offer far greater ESD protection than many TVS diodes while providing much lower capacitance and leakage current and higher voltage ratings.
Littelfuse XGD Series XTREME-GUARD devices are designed for high-frequency, high-speed applications that demand high voltage ratings and extreme ESD protection, while also ideal for general-purpose ESD protection in applications such as industrial, consumer electronics, telecom and datacom, and home appliances.
