The PESD5V0S2BT is a low-capacitance bidirectional double ESD protection diode designed to protect two data lines against damage caused by electrostatic discharge and other transient events.
The device is housed in a small SOT23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package.
Key Features
- Bidirectional ESD protection for two lines
- Low diode capacitance
- Typical capacitance: 35 pF
- Maximum capacitance: 45 pF
- Maximum peak pulse power: 130 W
- Pulse condition: tp = 8/20 µs
- Low clamping voltage: 14 V at IPP = 12 A
- Ultra-low leakage current: 5 nA maximum
- VRWM = 5 V
- ESD protection up to 30 kV
- IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection
- IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection
- SOT23 / TO-236AB package
Applications
- Cellular handsets and accessories
- Portable electronics
- Computers and peripherals
- Communication systems
- Audio and video equipment
Practical Repair Note
The PESD5V0S2BT is intended to be placed close to external connectors and communication interfaces.
After an ESD event, the protection device may fail short-circuit and pull one of the protected signal lines down.
Because the device is bidirectional, its behavior in a simple multimeter diode test should not be interpreted in the same way as that of a conventional single-direction diode.
