3 Description

The ESD501-Q1 is a bidirectional ESD protection

diode. The ESD501-Q1 is offered in the industry

standard 0402 (DFN1006) package, and offers an IEC

61000-4-2 protection level of 15kV. The device can

clamp 8/20μs surges with peak pulse currents up to

3A in accordance with the IEC 61000-4-5 standard.

The low capacitance and low leakage current help to

ensure protection against transient events in a variety

of systems and applications. This protection is key for

many applications, such as smaller form factors and

faster data speeds, which are becoming more popular

over time.
