Riverside, Calif., July 8, 2009 ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ, a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic components, today announced the introduction of a new steering diode array that provides up to six lines of protection using the ¡°rail to rail¡± clamping technique with low leakage current and low capacitance per line. Designated ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ? model CDNBS08-SR112, the lead-free steering diode device was designed specifically for ESD, EFT and surge protection applications and is RoHS compliant.* Available in an NSOIC-8 package, the new device is designed to be mounted directly onto an FR4 printed circuit board. ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ engineers optimized the design to protect a wide range of applications including Ethernet ports, portable electronics, wireless LANs and Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface-based systems.
¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ¡¯ steering diode array meets IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) and IEC 61000-4-5 (surge) requirements for external ports and features very low capacitance of 5 pF to minimize electrical distortion. The devices also meet many worldwide, industry and government regulations regarding lead-free components and are designed for a variety of manufacturing environments, allowing the use of industry-standard ¡°pick and place¡± equipment. The chip diode NSOIC-8 package offers simplified production with its flat configuration that minimizes rollaway.
"¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ¡¯ new steering diode array provides a good choice for ESD, EFT and surge protection for up to six communication data lines and also fits circuit board space constraints,¡± said Ian Doyle, ESD Product Line Manager for ¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ ¡°¸ß±¶ÂÖÅÌ is pleased to offer the newest addition to the company¡¯s steering diode array product line that meets industry demands for smaller electronic components with extremely low power consumption."
