New ESD protection diodes save board space in automotive applications

06-01-2016 | Vishay | Design & Manufacture

Vishay has released two new bidirectional single-line ESD protection diodes in the compact SOD-323 package. Measuring only 1.95mm x 1.5mm with a low 0.95mm profile, the space-saving VLIN1626-02G and VLIN2626-02G devices offer low capacitance and leakage current for the protection of automotive data lines against transient voltage signals. For LIN bus applications, the diodes released today provide transient protection for one data line as per IEC 61000 4 2 at ± 30kV (air and contact discharge). The AEC-Q101-qualified devices feature low load capacitance of 15.5pF typical and 18 pF maximum, low maximum leakage current of < 0.05µA, and working voltages of -16V / +26.5V or ± 26V. The protection diodes are lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant, says the company.
