Ultra-low capacitance two-wire ESD protection diode

     Vishay Intertechnology has announced the launch of the new bidirectional symmetric (BiSy) two-wire ESD protection diode VBUS05M2-HT5 in the small wettable flanker DFN1110-3A package. The Vishay Semiconductors VBUS05M2-HT5 is space-efficient compared to SOT package solutions and features ultra-low capacitance and leakage current to protect high-speed data lines from transient voltage signals.

     The typical load capacitor of the device released today is only 0.37 pF, which is suitable for commercial applications such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and HDMI port protection. For automotive applications, the VBUS05M2-HT5 also offers AEC-Q101 certified devices. This protective diode has A maximum leakage current of less than 0.1 μA at ± 5.5 V operating voltage, a typical breakdown voltage of 8.5 V at 1 mA reverse current, and a maximum clamp voltage of 18 V at 3.4 A peak pulse current.

     VBUS05M2-HT5 data line transient protection up to IEC 6100042 ± 20 kV (air and contact discharge). The device moisture sensitivity (MSL) reaches J-STD-020 standard Class 1, and the fire resistance rating reaches UL 94 V-0. The protective diodes comply with RoHS and Vishay green standards, are halogen-free and support automated optical inspection (AOI) of automotive systems.
