To include a new miniature 0402 device that provides sub-1nS response to ESD strikes, AVX has expanded its automotive CAN BUS varistor product offering.

The AEC-Q200 qualified CAN0005 varistor delivers the lowest specified leakage current available on the market. The bi-directional CAN0005 varistor also provides ‘excellent’ current and energy handling capabilities as well as EMI/RFI attenuation, says the company.

“AVX offers one of the broadest AEC Q200-qualified product offerings of any automotive supplier. The introduction of the CAN0005 varistor provides our customers excellent ESD protection and the lowest specified leakage current in an AEC-Q200 Qualified 0402 varistor on the market today,” said Jeremiah Woods, global marketing manager for circuit protection, AVX.

The CAN0005 varistor provides an ESD rating of 25kV. The low profile 0402 varistor features a fast response time to ESD and can withstand successive 1k strikes at 8kV (IEC 61000-4-2).
