Vishay Semiconductors VLIN26A1-03G and VCAN26A2-03G ESD protection diodes

Vishay Intertechnology has released bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) ESD protection diodes in the compact SOT-323 package. Measuring 2.3 x 2.1 mm with a 0.95 mm profile, the Vishay Semiconductors single-line VLIN26A1-03G and dual-line VCAN26A2-03G offer low capacitance and leakage current for the protection of automotive data lines against transient voltage signals.

For LIN bus applications, the VLIN26A1-03G provides transient protection for one data line as per IEC 61000 4 2 at ±30 kV (air and contact discharge), while the VCAN26A2-03G protects two lines for CAN-Bus and FLEX-Bus applications. The AEC-Q101-qualified devices feature low load capacitance of 10 pF typical and 15 pF maximum; a low maximum leakage current of <0.05 μA; and a working voltage of ±26.5 V. The protection diodes are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
