Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc. has added a diode with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering to its line. The Toshiba DF3S6.8ECT protection diode provides digital and mobile equipment such as cell phones, PDAs, notebook PCs, digital cameras, and GPS devices with EMI and ESD protection from electrostatic discharge energy that is introduced from I/O ports and travels through the connectors onto the system boards. The EMI/ESD diode features a high ESD protection level with clip voltage of 6.8V, and high ESD immunity level of +/-8kV (min.) @ IEC61000-4-2 (contact discharge). The Toshiba DF3S6.8ECT is offered in a small, thin three-pin CST3 package that measures 1.0mm x 0.6mm x 0.38mm.Learn more from Toshiba.
