New Vishay Intertechnology Bidirectional Single-Line ESD Protection Diodes in Small SOD-323 Package Save Board Space in Automotive Applications

Vishay VLIN1626-02G VLIN2626-02G

Vishay Intertechnology released two new bidirectional single-line ESD protection diodes in the compact SOD-323 package. Measuring only 1.95 mm by 1.5 mm with a low 0.95 mm profile, the space-saving Vishay Semiconductors VLIN1626-02G and VLIN2626-02G offer low capacitance and leakage current for the protection of automotive data lines against transient voltage signals.

Vishay VLIN1626-02G

For LIN bus applications, the diodes released today provide transient protection for one data line as per IEC 61000-4-2 at ± 30 kV (air and contact discharge). The AEC-Q101-qualified devices feature low load capacitance of 15.5 pF typical and 18 pF maximum, low maximum leakage current of < 0.05 µA, and working voltages of -16 V / +26.5 V or ± 26 V. The protection diodes are lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.

Samples of the new VLIN1626-02G and VLIN2626-02G are available now. Production quantities are available now, with lead times of eight weeks for large orders.
