Vishay's New Diode Array Offers Bidirectional ESD Protection and Space Savings With Low 5-pF Capacitance in Compact SOT-143 Package

SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - July 30, 2004 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of a new low-capacitance, bidirectional ESD protection diode array in the SOT-143 SMD package.

Aimed at high-volume, mainstream applications, the new Vishay Semiconductors GCDA15C-1 diode array is designed to provide cost-effective ESD protection in ADSL, RS-232, RS-422, and V.90 interfaces; high-speed data lines; WAN/LAN equipment; and wireless systems.

Rated for an operating voltage of 15 V, the GCDA15C-1 offers excellent electrical performance with typical capacitance of 5 pF, a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 µA, and a maximum clamping voltage value of 21 V. The new diode array also features ESD protection that meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 specifications.

With compact dimensions of 1.25 mm by 2.85 mm with a 1.1-mm height profile, the GCDA15C device allows designers to realize space savings and simplify board layouts. High-temperature soldering is guaranteed to 260 °C/10 sec. at terminals, and the device operating temperature range is -40 °C to +125 °C.

Samples and production quantities of the GCDA15C-1 ESD protection diode array are available now in tape-and-reel packaging with lead times of six to eight weeks for larger orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery in 100,000-piece quantities starts at $30.00 per 100 pieces.
