The device combines a low height of less than 0.4mm with low load capacitance of 0.35pF typical. Featuring a “flow through” design, the VBUS05M2-HT1 is optimised for the protection of high-speed data lines including HDMI, DisplayPort, eSATA, USB 3.0, 1394 / FireWire and Thunderbolt in smartphones, tablets, notebooks and wearable devices. The protection diode features a low maximum leakage current of under 0.1μA at the working voltage of 5.5V, a breakdown voltage of 8.5V typical at 1mA and a maximum clamping voltage of 18V at 3.6A.
The VBUS05M2-HT1 provides transient protection for data lines as per IEC 61000 4 2 at ±20kV (air and contact discharge). The device offers a moisture sensitivity level of 1 in accordance with J-STD-020 and a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and it supports reflow soldering to +260°C for 10s. Soldering can be checked by a standard vision inspection, without the need for an X-ray. The protection diode is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free and Vishay Green.
Samples and production quantities of the VBUS05M2-HT1 are available now, with lead times of eight weeks for large orders.
