The ClampTM series of TVS arrays are designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to ESD. They are designed for use in applications where board space is at a premium. Each device requires less than 2.6mm2 of PCB area and will protect up to six lines. TVS diodes are solid-state devices designed specifically for transient suppression. They feature large cross-sectional area junctions for conducting high transient currents. They offer desirable characteristics for board level protection including fast response time, low operating and clamping voltage, and no device degradation. The uClamp0506P is in a 6-pin, RoHS/WEEE compliant, SLP1616P6 package. It measures 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.60mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm and are finished with lead-free NiPd. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (15kV air, 8kV contact discharge). The combination of small size, low capacitance, and high ESD surge capability makes them ideal for use in portable electronics such as cell phones, PDAs, notebook computers, and digital cameras.
