V18MLE0402

• Protection of Components and Circuits Sensitive to ESD Transients Occurring on Power Supplies, Control and
  Signal Lines
• Suppression of ESD Events Such as Specified in IEC-61000-4-2 or MIL-STD-883C Method-3015.7, for
   Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC)
• Used in Mobile Communications, Computer/EDP Products, Medical Products, Hand Held/Portable Devices,
   Industrial Equipment, Including Diagnostic Port Protection and I/O Interfaces

The V18MLE0402 of Transient Voltage Suppression devices are based on the Littelfuse Multilayer fabrication technology. These components are designed to suppress ESD events, including those specified in IEC 61000- 4-2 or other standards used for Electromagnetic Compliance testing. The MLE Series is typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other components at the circuit board level operating at 18VDC, or less.

The fabrication method and materials of V18MLE0402 result in capacitance characteristics suitable for high frequency attenuation/low-pass filter circuit functions, thereby providing suppression and filtering in a single device.

The V18MLE0402 Series is manufactured from semiconducting ceramics and is supplied in a leadless, surface mount package. The MLE Series is compatible with modern reflow and wave soldering procedures.

Littelfuse Inc. manufactures other Multilayer Series products. See the ML Series data sheet for higher energy/peak current transient applications. See the AUML Series for automotive applications and the MLN Quad Array. For high speed applications see the MHS series.
