The unique design of the RClamp series devices incorporates eight surge rated, low capacitance steering diodes and a TVS in a single package. During transient conditions, the steering diodes direct the transient to either the positive side of the power supply line or to ground. The internal TVS diode prevents over-voltage on the power line, protecting any downstream components. The RClampTM0504N has a low typical capacitance of 3pF and operates with virtually no insertion loss to 1GHz. This makes the device ideal for protection of high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0, Firewire, DVI, and gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The RClamp0504N is in a 6-pin, RoHs compliant, SLP2020P6 package. It measures 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.60mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm and are finished with lead-free NiPd. Each device may be used to protect four high-speed data or transmission lines. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (15kV air, 8kV contact discharge).
