The ChipGuard® CG0402MLE and CG0603MLE Series have been designed to provide high frequency attenuation, thereby providing
suppression and fi ltering in a single device. The MLE family also offers protection to ESD standards such as IEC61000-4-2 for applications
requiring up to 18 V DC and is available in the industry standard 0603 and 0402 type leadless surface mount packaging.
