Abstract

An ESD protection component includes a ceramic material and a BGA or LGA termination. In addition, an ESD protection component includes a basic body with a lower side. The basic body includes a ceramic material. At least one floating inner electrode is located at a distance from the lower side of two to 100 ceramic grains. Also a component includes a carrier, on which an LED and an ESD protection component are arranged.

Claims (24)

1. An ESD protection component comprising:

a basic body with a lower side, wherein the basic body comprises a ceramic material; and

a floating inner electrode, wherein a distance between the lower side and the floating inner electrode is 2 to 100 ceramic grains.

2. The ESD protection component according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is 2 ceramic grains.

3. The ESD protection component according to claim 1 , further comprising a ball grid array or land grid array termination.

4. The ESD protection component according to claim 1 , further comprising a second floating inner electrode, wherein a distance between the floating inner electrode and the second floating inner electrode is greater than the distance between the floating inner electrode and the lower side of the basic body.

5. The ESD protection component according to claim 1 , further comprising a contact connection for electrically contact-connecting the basic body, wherein the contact connection is arranged on the lower side of the basic body.

6. The ESD protection component according to claim 1 , wherein the basic body is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane that runs parallel to the lower side of the basic body.

7. The ESD protection component according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic material comprises a ZnO—Bi—Sb material or ZnO—Pr material.

8. A component comprising:

a carrier;

an LED arranged on the carrier; and

the ESD protection component according to claim 1 , the ESD protection component being arranged on the carrier.

9. The component according to claim 8 , wherein the carrier comprises a ceramic material or an organic material.

10. The component according to claim 8 , wherein the carrier has a thermal via that runs perpendicular to a surface of the carrier, the thermal via thermally coupled between the LED and a housing.

11. The component according to claim 8 , wherein the carrier comprises a metal, wherein the metal is coated with an electrically insulating layer.

12. An ESD protection component comprising:

a basic body with a lower side;

a first floating inner electrode;

a second floating inner electrode adjacent to the first floating inner electrode, wherein a distance between the first floating inner electrode and the second floating inner electrode is greater than a distance between the first floating inner electrode and the lower side of the basic body, and wherein the first and second floating inner electrodes are not designed for an external contact connection; and

a contact connection arranged on the lower side of the basic body.

13. The ESD protection component according to claim 12 , wherein the basic body comprises a ZnO—Bi—Sb material or ZnO—Pr material.

14. The ESD protection component according to claim 12 , wherein a distance between the lower side and the first floating inner electrode is 2 to 100 ceramic grains.

15. The ESD protection component according to claim 12 , wherein the basic body is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane that runs parallel to the lower side of the basic body.
