Product details
Overview
VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a bidirectional asymmetrical ESD-protection diode in SOD-923 package, rated for 5 V reverse standoff voltage, 12 pF typical capacitance at 2.5 V, <0.1 μA leakage at 5 V, and ±30 kV air discharge immunity per IEC 61000-4-2 - deployed on high-speed data lines including USB 2.0 and HDMI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 datasheet, VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 pinout, VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 application, or VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (8.9 V at 3 A), low-profile 0.4 mm height, MSL level 1 solderability, and BiAs protection behavior critical for signal integrity in compact portable electronics.
Technical Context
The VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 operates in bidirectional asymmetrical (BiAs) bias mode: pin 1 grounded, pin 2 connected to protected signal line. It provides distinct clamping paths - reverse breakdown at 6–7.5 V with 8–11 V clamping at 3 A, and forward conduction with VF ≤1.9 V at 3 A - enabling low-voltage transient suppression near ground.
Its SOD-923 footprint (0.9 × 0.65 mm, 0.4 mm max height) supports high-density PCB layouts. Capacitance varies from 12 pF at VR = 2.5 V to 19–23 pF at VR = 0 V, making it suitable for ≤480 Mbps data channels where insertion loss and signal distortion must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 5 V - maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction begins; sets upper limit for safe signal swing in protected line. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 8.9 V max at 3 A peak pulse - limits transient voltage seen by downstream IC, protecting 5 V logic interfaces. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 12 pF typ. at VR = 2.5 V, 1 MHz - ensures minimal signal loading on USB 2.0 or audio/data lines. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <0.1 μA at VR = 5 V - avoids DC loading or battery drain in always-on portable circuits. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV air / ±20 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 - exceeds Level 4 system-level ESD requirements. |
| Package | SOD-923 - 0.4 mm height, 0.9 × 0.65 mm footprint; enables routing under fine-pitch BGAs and space-constrained mobile modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-923 is a 2-terminal surface-mount package with cathode bar marking on pin 1. Total weight is 0.45 mg; molded compound meets UL 94 V-0; MSL level 1 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Connected to system ground; serves as return path for both positive and negative ESD transients. |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Connected to protected signal/data line; conducts forward during negative transients and reverse during positive transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Asymmetrical (BiAs) Clamping | Enables low-voltage clamping of negative transients (~1.9 V at 3 A) while maintaining higher reverse clamping (8.9 V), optimizing protection for ground-referenced signals. |
| Ultra-Low Profile | 0.4 mm max height allows placement beneath tight-clearance components like camera modules or stacked memory in smartphones. |
| Low Capacitance Variation | 12 pF at 2.5 V bias ensures stable impedance matching across typical data-line DC bias ranges, reducing bit error rate in high-speed links. |
| MSL Level 1 Rating | Permits unlimited floor life and standard reflow without baking, simplifying SMT assembly for high-volume consumer electronics manufacturing. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI DDC/CEC Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines of USB 2.0 ports against ESD events during cable insertion/removal in tablets and peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-line transient suppressor placed directly at connector, operating in BiAs mode to clamp both polarity surges without DC blocking. Use Value: Maintains 480 Mbps data integrity with only 12 pF loading and clamps transients below 9 V, preventing PHY latch-up or damage. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI DDC (I²C) and CEC control lines exposed on external ports in TVs and set-top boxes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance ESD shunt between data line and ground, preserving I²C timing margins (100 kHz/400 kHz) during hot-plug events. Use Value: Sub-0.1 μA leakage avoids pull-up current errors; 5 V VRWM aligns with 3.3–5 V I²C bus voltage range. |
| Smartphone Antenna Switch Control Lines | Automotive Infotainment Display Flex Cables |
Use Scenario: Protecting GPIO-controlled RF antenna switch enable lines subject to handling ESD in handheld assembly and field use. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor on low-current digital control path, leveraging BiAs behavior to avoid forward-bias disruption of logic levels. Use Value: 1.9 V forward clamping prevents false toggling of CMOS inputs; 0.4 mm height fits within narrow flex-circuit routing zones. | Use Scenario: Shielding LVDS or RGB signal pairs in display flex cables connecting head units to dash displays against assembly and service ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Per-line ESD clamp on each differential pair, minimizing skew impact via matched 12 pF capacitance and symmetric layout. Use Value: 19–23 pF max capacitance at 0 V ensures <0.5% signal rise-time degradation on 100 MHz pixel clocks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD-protection diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD9X5.0ST5G | Single-line, SOD-923, 5 V VRWM, 13 pF typ., 9.5 V VC at 3 A, RoHS-compliant. | Higher clamping voltage (9.5 V vs. 8.9 V); identical footprint and leakage. | Preferred when margin for 5 V rail overshoot is >0.5 V; otherwise VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 offers tighter clamping. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Dual-line, X2SON-0.64×0.64 mm, 5 V VRWM, 11 pF typ., 12 V VC at 3 A, integrated 100 Ω series resistor. | Includes series resistance for ringing suppression but doubles capacitance load per line; not pin-compatible. | Select when board space permits dual-line integration and ringing mitigation is prioritized over absolute lowest capacitance. |
Compared with ESD9X5.0ST5G and TPD2E001DRYR, the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 delivers the lowest clamping voltage (8.9 V) in its SOD-923 class and maintains the strictest capacitance stability across bias, making it optimal for noise-sensitive, high-speed single-line protection where voltage margin is constrained.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 at 3 A peak pulse current?
The VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 has a maximum clamping voltage of 11 V at 3 A peak pulse current in reverse direction, with a typical value of 8.9 V under the same IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs waveform. This performance ensures downstream 5 V logic interfaces remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events. The VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 datasheet specifies this parameter in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Reverse Clamping voltage".
Does the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 support bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes, the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 provides bidirectional asymmetrical (BiAs) protection: it clamps positive transients in reverse breakdown (6–7.5 V VBR) and negative transients in forward conduction (VF ≤1.9 V at 3 A). This behavior is inherent to its internal structure and confirmed in the Bias-Mode description of the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 datasheet.
What is the typical capacitance of the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 at 2.5 V reverse bias?
The VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 exhibits a typical capacitance of 12 pF at 2.5 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low, bias-stable value minimizes signal distortion on high-speed lines such as USB 2.0 and HDMI DDC, and is a key differentiator versus alternatives with higher or more voltage-sensitive capacitance.
Is the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes, the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 is compliant with the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and conforms to WEEE 2002/96/EC. Its molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and full material compliance details are documented in Vishay's Material Category Policy (document #99902), referenced in the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 datasheet.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08?
The VESD05A1B-02Z-GS08 supports a junction operating temperature range of −40 °C to +125 °C, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This range enables reliable deployment in automotive cabin environments, industrial edge controllers, and thermally demanding portable electronics where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C.
