MLVB06V18C003

The Eaton MLVB06V18C003 is a multilayer varistor (MLV) ESD suppressor from the MLVB series, housed in a compact 0603 (1608 Metric) surface-mount package. This device is built on a zinc oxide-based ceramic chip, offering low capacitance suitable for high-speed transient voltage protection.

Key electrical specifications include a maximum DC working voltage of 18V, with a varistor voltage ranging from 22V to 34V at 1mA. The capacitance is rated at 3 pF at 1 MHz. It provides ESD protection with a fast response time of less than 1ns, enabling equipment to pass IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 tests. The varistor also exhibits low and stable leakage current, contributing to reduced power consumption.

This component is lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for global applications. It is designed for surface mounting and is compatible with both lead and lead-free solder reflow processes. The standard package quantity is 4000 pieces per reel.

Applications for the MLVB06V18C003 include computers and peripherals, digital cameras, mobile phones, medical equipment, DVD players, MP3/multimedia players, LCD TVs/monitors, external storage, cable/DSL modems, USB 2.0 interfaces, and set-top boxes.
