Designed to protect equipment attached to communication lines, an ESD protection diode has been introduced by Toshiba Electronics Europe. The DF5G7M2N protects high-speed interfaces such as USB3.1, HDMI, DisplayPort and Thunderbolt from static electricity, as well as shielding small portable devices such as smartphones and tablets from ESD events.

High speed data lines can be subjected to static electricity, which can cause quality and reliability problems. The DF5G7M2N helps to provide stable operation and reliability for these voltage-sensitive lines.

The ESD diode features low capacitance of 0.2pF and low dynamic resistance of 1Ω, while providing ESD resistance of ±8kV. It also suppresses signal quality deterioration (insertion loss) by lowering capacitance.

The DF5G7M2N is housed in a 1.3x0.8mm DFN5 package that reduces its footprint to less than 50% of that of similar products (compared to Toshiba's DF10G7M1N, in a DFN10 2.5x1.0mm package). Simplifying wiring design, it is suitable for high density mounting.
