CG0201MLC-05H Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Bourns ChipGuard CG0201MLC-05H is a multilayer varistor (MLCV) designed to protect sensitive electronics from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. It provides ultra-low capacitance and fast clamping performance, making it almost transparent under normal operating conditions.

Key electrical specifications include a maximum DC working voltage of 5 V, typical capacitance of 0.2 pF at 1 MHz, typical leakage current of 0.01 µA, typical trigger voltage of 250 V, and typical clamping voltage of 30 V. The response time is less than 1 ns, ensuring rapid protection against ESD events.

The device meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity, with ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air discharge ratings, and can withstand at least 500 ESD pulses. It operates over a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and is RoHS compliant.

Packaged in a compact 0201 (0603 metric) surface-mount case, the CG0201MLC-05H is ideal for high-speed data interfaces such as USB 2.0/3.0, HDMI 1.4/2.0, IEEE 1394, GPS antennas, and wearable electronics. Its bidirectional design and low capacitance preserve signal integrity in high-frequency circuits.
