Notes: 1. Per IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 8 kV Contact Discharge. Measurement 30 ns after initiation of pulse.

2. Per IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 8 kV Contact Discharge. Measurement at maximum pulse voltage.

3. IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Performance for CG0603MLC-05E and CG0603MLC-12E devices will meet minimum 100 reps.

Some shifting in characteristics may occur when tested over several hundred ESD pulses. All other part numbers listed will meet

IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Performance with minimum 1000 reps without degradation in performance.
