ABSTRACT:
An ESD clip for protecting an integrated circuit against electrostatic discharge comprises two mutually opposed pressure bodies interconnected by a spring for short-circuiting connection pins of the integrated circuit. The pressure bodies of the ESD clip are pressed against one another by the spring and in that the pressure bodies are coated with an electrically conducting supporting material. Only minimal mechanical moments are thus exerted on the connection wires of an integrated circuit, so that they are not or hardly deformed.
