Bourns® ChipGuard® ESD Suppressors
Reliable, Ultra-Low Capacitance Protection for High-Speed Applications
Bourns® ChipGuard® ESD Suppressors deliver advanced ceramic-based protection designed to safeguard sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge. Featuring ultra-low capacitance as low as 0.05 pF, these compact devices are ideal for high-speed data lines and RF circuits where signal integrity is critical. Their high initial resistance ensures minimal leakage, activating only when necessary to divert harmful overvoltage away from the protected circuit. Once the threat is neutralized, the suppressor quickly returns to its high-resistance state—ready for the next surge. Choose ChipGuard® for fast, effective, and reliable ESD protection in today’s demanding electronic designs.
The Bourns® ChipGuard® Series – Invisible Protection with Superior Performance
Engineered to safeguard sensitive electronics, the Bourns® ChipGuard® Series offers outstanding ESD protection with ultra-low capacitance and typical leakage currents as low as 10 nA. Designed for minimal signal interference, these devices provide excellent clamping performance while remaining virtually transparent during normal operation—ensuring reliable, high-speed circuit protection without compromise.
