Mouser Electronics, the industry-leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is expanding its range of electrostatic discharge protection products to help protect the latest electronic products from static electricity.

Mouser announced today that it is continuing to expand its portfolio of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection components.

With the continued advancement and miniaturization of electronic devices, effective ESD protection solutions are more important than ever. Taking ESD protection measures can protect electronic components from immediate, potential, or catastrophic damage caused by ESD events, ensuring continued reliability of the device.

These protective components have become an essential part of modern electronic products and play a critical role in protecting sensitive electronics from ESD across a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics such as smartphones and laptops to industrial equipment and automotive systems.

Looking at the main products supplied by Mouser, for the automotive sector where electrification and digitalization are rapidly increasing, we supply the ESD2CANx-Q1 ESD protection diode from Texas Instruments (TI).

This product is an AEC-Q101 qualified solution with an extinction rating for contact ESD strikes specified in the ISO 10605 automotive standard.

It features a pinout suitable for two automotive CAN (controller area network) bus lines (CANH and CANL), low IO capacitance of 2.8 pF average per channel, and an operating voltage of 36 V.

These protection diodes provide long-term protection for in-vehicle networks (IVN) such as CAN-FD and low-fault-tolerance CAN and high-speed CAN systems, as well as industrial control networks such as DeviceNet and CANopen.

For wireless and wireline communications, Nexperia supplies the PESDxVF1BALS-Q bidirectional ESD protection diode.

This product is an ESD protection diode with ultra-low capacitance designed to support communication applications such as NFC, antennas, and high-speed data lines.

Provides ESD protection up to ±15kV according to IEC 61000-4-2 standard and is available in sizes 1 x 0.Measuring just 6 x 0.47mm, it is ideal for space-constrained designs.

It also features a wide ambient temperature range of -55 to +150°C and AEC-Q101 qualification, making it suitable for harsh environments such as automotive applications.

Littelfuse offers the AQ1205-01UTG bidirectional discrete TVS diode.

This product was developed using Little Hughes' proprietary silicon avalanche technology. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including automotive applications, battery protection and management systems, computers and related peripherals, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and test instruments.

The AQ1205-01UTG TVS diode allows circuits to safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes of ±30kV (contact and air discharge) without performance degradation, per the IEC 61000-4-2 standard.

The reverse leakage current of this diode is 20 nA (at 4.5 V) and the maximum capacitance is 9 pF.

Additionally, the product supports AEC-Q101 qualification and production part approval process (PPAP), allowing for seamless integration into appropriate designs.

The PE1403M1Q diode from PANJIT Semiconductor is an ESD protection device housed in a small DFN1006-2L package.

This product features low leakage current, ultra-low capacitance, dynamic resistance of 0.88Ω and low clamping voltage.

These diodes not only protect against voltage transients due to lightning according to IEC 61000-4-5, but also provide protection against ESD strikes and EFT effects of ±18 kV in air and ±15 kV upon contact, making them suitable for a wide range of electronic applications.

The PE1403M1Q ESD protection diode is fully EU RoHS 2.0 compliant, ensuring lead-free operation, and the diode terminals support soldering according to MIL-STD-750, Method 2026 for reliable installation.
