STMICROELECTRONICS ESDA6V1BC6 ESD Protection TVS Diode Array, SOT-23, 5V

The STMICROELECTRONICS ESDA6V1BC6 is a highly integrated, quad bidirectional TRANSIL™ suppressor housed in a compact 6-pin SOT-23 package. Designed specifically for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection, this monolithic array safeguards up to four sensitive signal or data lines against transient overvoltages, making it an essential component for preserving the integrity of modern electronic circuits.

Ideal for applications where printed circuit board (PCB) space is at a premium, this device provides robust protection for ESD-sensitive equipment, including personal computers, printers, communication infrastructure, and video systems. Its bidirectional design is particularly well-suited for protecting symmetrical signal lines, ensuring reliable operation without signal distortion.

Key Performance Features

• Delivers a high ESD protection level, capable of withstanding discharges up to 25 kV.
• Features a stand-off voltage range of ±5V with an exceptionally low leakage current of less than 1µA, minimising power loss.
• Provides comprehensive protection for data lines, signal lines, and VCC power buses.
• Complies with the stringent IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 standard, rated for 15 kV (air discharge) and 8 kV (contact discharge).
• Engineered for reliability across a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.
• Its compact SOT-23 footprint makes it perfectly suitable for high-density board designs.

By integrating the ESDA6V1BC6 into your design, you incorporate a proven, space-efficient solution that meets international safety standards, enhances product durability, and protects valuable circuitry from damaging ESD events.
