MALVERN, PA — (Marketwire) — 06/21/12 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced a new bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) single-line ESD protection diode that offers low capacitance of 14 pF in the ultra-compact LLP1006-2L package.
With a small 1.0 mm by 0.6 mm footprint and an extremely low profile of 0.38 mm, the new is designed to reduce the board space required for ESD protection in portable electronics, including notebook computers and smartphones.
At the working voltage of 7 V, the diode offers a high isolation to ground characterized by a low leakage current of less than 0.1 microamp. Any transient voltage signal exceeding the reverse breakdown voltage of 7.3 V minimum at 1 mA will be clamped or shorted to ground. The device features a maximum clamping voltage of 15 V at 4 A.
The short leads and small size of the LLP1006-2L package enable a diode with very low line inductance, allowing fast transients such as ESD strikes to be clamped with minimal over- or undershoots.
The VCUT07B1-HD1 provides transient protection for one data line as per IEC 61000-4-2 at 30 kV (air and contact discharge) and high surge current protection according to IEC 61000-4-5 at 4 A. The device is lead (Pb)-free and complies with RoHS 2011/65/EU and Vishay “Green” environmental specifications. Soldering can be checked by standard vision inspection, with no X-ray necessary.
Samples of the VCUT07B1-HD1 are available now. Production quantities will be available in Q4 2012, with lead times of eight to 10 weeks for larger orders. Follow from Vishay at .
