New Yorker Electronics has announced Vishay’s release of its new CLP series of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes/EMI filters. The series includes three types of devices: single-line ESD protection diodes, a four-line ESD protection diode array and a two-channel electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter.
The Vishay Semiconductors’ VBUS and VCUT single-line ESD diodes are housed in the ultra-compact 0.27 mm x 0.3 mm x 0.6 mm CLP0603-2L package. They are bidirectional and symmetrical ESD protection devices that clamp positive and negative overvoltage transients to ground. Connected between the signal or data line and the ground, they offer high isolation (low leakage current, low capacitance) within the specified working range. Due to its short leads and small package size, the diode’s line inductance is very low, allowing fast transients such as an ESD-strike to be clamped with minimal over- or undershoots.
