Vishay Intertechnology VTVSxxASMF TVS protection diodes

Vishay Intertechnology has announced a series of surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) protection diodes featuring a 2% breakdown voltage tolerance.

Offered in the low-profile SMF package, the VTVSxxASMF series provides a high surge capability of 400 W at 10/1000 μs for portable electronics. With their low 1 mm profile, low-noise technology and fast response times, the devices are suitable for line transient voltage protection in space-constrained electronics, such as laptops, notebooks, tablets, smartphones and external hard drives.

The series consists of 23 devices with working voltages from 5 to 63 V, with breakdown voltage tolerances of 2% or 5% available. The TVSs offer a peak pulse current from 2.9 to 20.3 A, clamping capability from 14.8 to 103.5 V, low incremental surge resistance and operating temperatures from -55 to +175°C.

The protection diodes provide ESD capability of ±30 kV (air and contact discharge), support high-temperature soldering to 260°C/10 s 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.
