Conclusion

This document describes how STMicroelectronics protection and filtering devices are tested

to guarantee their capability to withstand the IEC 61000-4-2 levels (contact or air discharge).

When these components are mounted in a product to protect some of its fragile parts, the

behavior of this component, tested in the same conditions will be more predictable. The

wave shape of the clamping voltage given in worst case test conditions indicates the

magnitude of remaining voltage that the protected equipment can meet.
