Ultra-Low Capacitance TVS for ESD and CDE Protection PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp® Description RailClamps are ultra low capacitance TVS arrays designed to protect high speed data interfaces. This series has been specifically designed to protect sensitive components which are connected to high-speed data and transmission lines from overvoltage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE (Cable Discharge Events), and EFT (electrical fast transients). The RClampTM1502B has a typical capacitance of only 0.60pF (pin 1 to 2). This means it can be used on circuits operating in excess of 3GHz without signal attenuation. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4 (±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge). Each device can be configured to protect 1 bidirectional line or two unidirectional lines. These devices are in a small SC-75 (SOT-523) package and feature a lead-free, matte tin finish. They are compatible with both lead free and SnPb assembly techniques. They are designed for use in applications where board space is at a premium. The combination of small size, low capacitance, and high level of ESD protection makes them a flexible solution for applications such as Automatic Test Equipment and Infiniband circuits.
