STMicroelectronics, Inc. TVS Diodes ESDALC6V1-1U2

The Transil Single Unidirectional ESD ST0201, specifically the ESDALC6V1-1U2 part number, is designed for ESD protection in sensitive electronic applications. It features a breakdown voltage of 6.1 V minimum and is capable of withstanding multiple ESD strikes. The device has a low capacitance of 12 pF typical at 0 V, which is beneficial for high-speed data lines, and exhibits low leakage current. This unidirectional device is housed in a compact 0201 SMD package, occupying a minimal PCB area of 0.18 mm¬=, making it suitable for high-density circuit boards. It complies with IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 standards, ensuring a high level of ESD protection. The maximum peak pulse power dissipation is rated at 20 W, with a peak pulse current of 2 A. The operating temperature range is from -40 ¬8C to +125 ¬8C, and it is RoHS compliant. Applications include portable multimedia players, notebooks, digital cameras, communication systems, and cellular phone handsets, where transient overvoltage protection is critical.
