Product details
Overview
VESD05C-FC1-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a flip-chip ESD protection diode in 0402 (1005 metric) package, featuring 5 V reverse stand-off voltage, 9 V breakdown voltage, 12 V clamping voltage at 10 A, 75 pF capacitance at 0 V, and 20 µA leakage at rated voltage - deployed for high-frequency signal line protection in portable consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 datasheet, VESD05C-FC1-GS08 pinout, VESD05C-FC1-GS08 application, or VESD05C-FC1-GS08 equivalent, key selection criteria include IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV air/±8 kV contact ESD rating, low 0.5 mm² PCB footprint, lead-free SnAgCu solder bumps, and compatibility with J-STD-020 reflow profiles.
Technical Context
This device implements a monolithic silicon P/N junction optimized for transient voltage suppression on high-speed data lines. It delivers low clamping voltage (12 V @ 10 A, 8/20 µs) and low parasitic capacitance (75 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz), enabling protection of USB 2.0, HDMI, audio, and RF interfaces without signal integrity degradation.
Designed as a surface-mount flip-chip with four solder bumps (80 µm height), the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 eliminates underfill requirements and supports standard SMT pick-and-place and reflow assembly. Its operating junction temperature range spans –55 °C to +150 °C, supporting automotive-grade reliability in compact portable systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5Z5.0T1G | Higher capacitance (100 pF), same 5 V VRWM, slightly higher clamping (13.5 V @ 10 A) | Less suitable for USB 2.0; acceptable for lower-speed audio or power rails | Prefer VESD05C-FC1-GS08 where <80 pF is mandatory for signal integrity |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Dual-channel array, 12 pF typical capacitance, 5.5 V VRWM, 11 V clamping, SOT-553 package | Requires larger PCB area; better for multi-line protection but not flip-chip assembly | Choose VESD05C-FC1-GS08 when ultra-small footprint and flip-chip process compatibility are critical |
Compared with ESD5Z5.0T1G and TPD2E001DRYR, the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 uniquely combines 0402 flip-chip form factor, 75 pF capacitance, and 30 kV air-discharge rating - making it optimal for miniaturized, high-speed portable designs requiring zero-layout overhead and J-STD-020-compliant assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 during an 8/20 µs surge?
The VESD05C-FC1-GS08 has a maximum clamping voltage of 12 V when subjected to a 10 A peak pulse current with an 8/20 µs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits during lightning-induced transients. The VESD05C-FC1-GS08 maintains this performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C.
Does the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 require underfill material during assembly?
No, the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 does not require underfill material. Its flip-chip structure uses four solder bumps for mechanical and electrical connection, eliminating wire bonds and package leads. This design allows direct mounting onto PCB pads using standard SMT reflow processes per J-STD-020, reducing process complexity and cost versus traditional packaged ESD diodes.
What is the capacitance of the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 and how does it affect high-speed signal lines?
The VESD05C-FC1-GS08 exhibits 75 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz. This low value minimizes signal distortion on high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI TMDS channels. Unlike higher-capacitance alternatives, the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 preserves edge rates and eye opening, making it suitable for placement directly at connectors without equalization compensation.
Is the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 compliant with RoHS and lead-free assembly standards?
Yes, the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 is fully RoHS-compliant per Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC. It uses lead-free SnAgCu solder bumps and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity and reflow profile requirements. The VESD05C-FC1-GS08 is rated for peak soldering temperatures up to 260 °C for 10 seconds, ensuring robustness in Pb-free manufacturing environments.
How does the VESD05C-FC1-GS08 compare to standard SOD-323 or SOT-23 ESD diodes in terms of PCB space?
The VESD05C-FC1-GS08 occupies only 0.5 mm² (0402 size), significantly less than SOD-323 (~2.8 mm²) or SOT-23 (~6.5 mm²) packages. Its flip-chip architecture eliminates leads and substrate, enabling placement directly adjacent to high-density connectors in smartphones and wearables. This saves routing space and reduces parasitic inductance compared to leaded alternatives.
