400W surge capability protects portable electronics
Hailed as the industry's first to feature a 2% breakdown voltage tolerance, a series of surface-mount Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) protection diodes has been unveiled by Vishay Intertechnology. The VTVSxxASMF series devices provide a high surge capability of 400W at 10/1000μs in a low-profile SMF package, making it suited for portable electronics.
With their low 1mm profile, low-noise technology and very fast response times, the devices are suited for line transient voltage protection in space-constrained electronics, such as laptops, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and external hard drives.
The VTVSxxASMF series consists of 23 devices with working voltages from 5 to 63V, with breakdown voltage tolerances of 2 or 5% available. The TVS offer a peak pulse current from 2.9 to 20.3A, excellent clamping capability from 14.8 to 103.5V, low incremental surge resistance and operating temperatures from -55 to +175°C.
The protection diodes provide ESD capability of ±30kV (air and contact discharge) in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2, support high-temperature soldering to +260°C for 10s at their terminals and meet the MSL Level 1 standard per J-STD-020. The AEC-Q101-qualified devices are RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Automotive Grade.
Samples and production quantities of the VTVSxxASMF series are available now, with lead times of eight weeks for larger orders.
