The CM1218 family of devices features transient voltage suppressor arrays that provide a very high level of protection for sensitive electronic components which may be subjected to electrostatic discharge (ESD). All pins of the CM1218 are rated to withstand ±15kV ESD pulses using the IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge method. Using the MIL-STD-883D (Method 3015) specification for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD, all pins are protected from contact discharges of greater than ±30kV. The CM1218 is supplied in a number of compact, surface mount packages depending on the channel configuration desired. All versions of this device are available with optional lead-free finishing.
