SMF-Packaged Diodes Offer 200-W Surge Protection

Dec. 3, 2013
Surface-mount electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection diodes from Vishay Intertechnology deliver 200-W surge capability at 10/1000 µs.

Surface-mount electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection diodes from Vishay Intertechnology deliver 200-W surge capability at 10/1000 µs. The SMFxxA series consists of 32 device with working voltages ranging from 5 to 85 V. Peak pulse current ranges from 2.1 to 21.7 A. Other features include 9.2- to 95-V clamping, low incremental surge resistance, and operating temperature ranging from −55 to +150°C. ESD capability is ±30 kV (air and contact discharge) in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2. Housed in 1-mm-profile SMF packages, the devices will offer line-transient voltage protection in space-constrained electronics such as laptops, notebooks, tablets, external hard drives, etc. The RoHS-compliant, halogen-free diodes support high-temperature soldering to 260°C/10 seconds at their terminals, and meet the MSL Level 1 standard per J-STD-020.
