Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors: ESD-Resistant Version 8/1/2009

The multilayer ceramic capacitors of the new E-series from EPCOS are highly rugged components. They are based on the X7R material and are significantly more resistant to ESD pulses than standard types. Thanks to an optimized selection of material and design, the E-series is additionally characterized by low capacitance values of down to 1 nF. It consequently offers protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) up to 300 MHz. Its low capacitance means that it can also be used to implement ESD-resistant low-pass filters.
