DESCRIPTION
RailClamp® is a low capacitance TVS array designed to protect high speed data interfaces. This series has been specifically designed to protect sensitive components which are connected to data and transmission lines from overvoltage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE (Cable Discharge Events), and EFT (electrical fast transients). The monolithic design incorporates surge rated, low capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode in a single package. Each line has a maximum capacitance of < 0.8pF to ground. The capacitance of each line is well matched for consistant signal balance. This device is optimized for ESD protection of portable electronics. It may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge). These devices are in a 6-pin, RoHS/WEEE compliant, SLP1616P6 package measuring 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.58mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm and are finished with lead-free NiPdAu.
