The ML Series is a family of Transient Voltage Surge
Suppression devices based on the Harris Multilayer
fabrication technology. These components are designed to
suppress a variety of transient events, including those
speci鏗乪d by the IEC or other standards used for
Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC). The ML Series is
typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other
components at the circuit board level.
The wide operating voltage and energy range make the ML
Series suitable for numerous applications on power supply,
control and signal lines.
The ML Series is manufactured from semiconducting
ceramics providing bidirectional voltage clamping and is
supplied in leadless, surface mount form, compatible with
modern re鏗俹w and wave soldering procedures.
Harris manufactures other Multilayer Series products. See the
MLE Series data sheet (Harris AnswerFAX, 407-724-7800, Doc
#2463) for ESD applications. See the AUML Series for
automotive applications (AnswerFAX Doc #3387) and the MLN
Quad Array (AnswerFAX Doc #4682).
