The ESDS452 is a
bidirectional ESD and TVS diode. The ESDS452 is rated to dissipate
ESD strikes beyond the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international
standard (±30kV Contact, ±30kV Air-gap). The device can clamp 8/20µs surges with
peak pulse currents up to 18A in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-5 standard.
Additionally, the low clamping voltage of the diodes in both the positive and
negative directions can help prevent downstream circuitry from being exposed to
large voltages and currents during ESD or surge events. This protection is key in
industrial systems which require a high level of robustness and reliability.
The ESDS452 is
available in a small leaded SOT-23 (DBZ) package.
