Product Description

The PAC™ DN016 is a diode array designed to provide 6 channels of ESD protection for electronic components or subsystems. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes which steers the ESD current pulse either to the positive (VP) or negative (VN) supply. In addition, there is an integral Zener diode between VP and VN to suppress any voltage disturbance due to these ESD current pulses. The PAC DN016 will protect against ESD pulses up to 15KV Human Body Model, and 8KV contact discharge per International Standard IEC 61000-4-2.
