PACDN3401C

·Single channel voltage suppressor in a surface mount EIA standard 0402-sized device
·Compact 0402 size saves board space and eases layout in area critical applications compared to traditional wire bonded IC packages
·In-system ESD protection to over 30kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 international ESD standard
·Improved electrical characteristics over P0402FC05C Protek devices
·Less than 10|ìA leakage at 5.9

The PACDN3401C is a transient voltage suppressor that is ideal for very high level protection for sensitive 5V electronic components that PACDN3401C may be subjected to electro- static discharge (ESD). The bipolar configuration pro- vides symmetrical ESD protection in cases where nodes with AC signals are present. PACDN3401C is designed and characterized to safely dissipate ESD strikes at 30kV contact discharge, well beyond the maximum require- ments of the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (Level 4, 8kV contact discharge).

Using the MIL-STD-883D (Method 3015) specification for Human Body Model (HBM) ESD, signal pins of PACDN3401C  are pro- tected for contact discharges to greater than 30kV.
