Original Press Release:
Vishays New ESD Single-Line Protection Diode Features Low Profile of 0.4 mm, Low Maximum Leakage Current of 0.1ìA, and Low Typical Capacitance of 12 pF
Ultra-Compact Plastic SOD923 Package Provides Board Space Savings
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA February 21, 2007 Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced the release of a new ESD single-line protection diode in a tiny plastic SOD923 package.
With a compact 0.6-mm by 1.0-mm footprint and an extremely low profile of 0.4mm, the VESD05A1B-02Z is designed to save board space and provide ESD protection in portable electronics for mobile computing, mobile communication, consumer, industrial, automotive, and medical applications.
The new device features a low typical capacitance of 12pF at 2.5V and 19pF at 0V (ground level), and a low maximum leakage current of 0.1µA at 5V. The ESD protection diode offers breakthrough voltages of 7.5V (maximum) and 6.8V (typical) at 1mA, and a maximum clamping voltage of 11V at 3A and 9.5V at 1A.
The VESD05A1B-02Z provides transient protection for one data line as per IEC6100042 (ESD) at 20kV (air and contact discharge) and IEC6100045 (lightning) from 3A (tp=8/20µs). The new device is also compliant with RoHS2002/95/EC and WEEE2002/96/EC.
Samples of the new ESD single-line protection diode in the compact SOD923 package are available now. Production quantities will be available in Q1 2007, with lead times of 10 weeks for large orders. Pricing for U.S. delivery is $5.00/100 pieces.
