Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced a new series of surface-mount ESD protection diodes in a low-profile SMF package that provide high surge capability of 200 W at 10/1000 µs for portable electronics.
The SMFxxA series consists of 32 devices with working voltages from 5 V to 58 V. The new devices offer a peak pulse current from 2.1 A to 21.7 A, excellent clamping capability from 9.2 V to 95 V, low incremental surge resistance and operating temperatures from -55 °C to +150 °C.
The protection diodes provide ESD capability of ± 30 kV (air and contact discharge) in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2, support high-temperature soldering to 260 °C/ 10s at their terminals, and meet the MSL Level 1 standard per J-STD-020. The devices are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
