Vishay Intertechnology Unveils 600 W Transient Voltage Suppressor Line Suitable for Automotive Use
Vishay Expands Transient Voltage Suppressor Portfolio with Space-Saving 600W Devices for Automotive and Beyond
Vishay Intertechnology Inc. (NYSE: VSH) introduces four new series of Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS), significantly expanding its offering of robust circuit protection solutions. These new devices cater to both automotive and general-purpose applications, offering exceptional performance in a compact, space-saving package.
Designed for Efficiency and Space Optimization
Vishay's new TVS series comprises:
- 6DFNxxA and 6DFNxxxCA: TRANSZORB TVS devices ideal for signal line protection in servers, media controllers, and consumer electronics.
- T6NxxA and T6NxxxCA: PAR TVS devices specifically designed for automotive load dump protection.
These series share several key features that make them attractive for a wide range of applications:
- High Peak Pulse Power: Delivers exceptional transient voltage suppression capability with a peak pulse power rating of 600 W at a 10/1000 μs waveform.
- Low Leakage Current: Minimizes standby power consumption with leakage current as low as 1 μA.
- DFN3820A Package: Offers a compact footprint (3.8 mm x 2.0 mm) and an ultra-low profile (0.88 mm typical height), enabling efficient space utilization on PCBs.
- Wettable Flanks: Facilitates automated optical inspection (AOI) during manufacturing, eliminating the need for X-ray inspection.
Addressing Diverse Protection Needs
General Purpose (6DFNxxA & 6DFNxxxCA):
- Ideal for protecting sensitive electronics in computers, consumer devices, and industrial applications.
- Typical applications include server power modules, digital media controllers, AV signal extenders, industrial robot control boards, and process control instruments.
Automotive Applications (T6NxxA & T6NxxxCA):
- AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive environments and capable of high-temperature operation up to +185 °C.
- Well-suited for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), battery management systems (BMS), electric power steering (EPS), and infotainment systems.
- Additional applications include central control units, on-board chargers (OBC), DC/DC converters, traction inverters, and electrical motor drives.
Outstanding Performance and Reliability
The new TVS series offers excellent clamping capability, with a maximum clamping voltage ranging from 16.7 V to 137 V depending on the specific device. Additionally, they are:
- MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level (per J-STD-020) for compatibility with automated placement processes.
- RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, adhering to environmentally conscious manufacturing practices.
- Constructed with matte tin-plated leads that meet the stringent JESD 201 Class 2 whisker test for enhanced reliability.
