Product details
Overview
VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 5-line ESD protection diode array in SOT-363 package, rated for 16 V reverse standoff voltage, 3.6 A peak pulse current (IEC 61000-4-5), and ±30 kV contact/air ESD immunity (IEC 61000-4-2). It protects high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0, HDMI, and LVDS interfaces in automotive infotainment and industrial control panels.
For engineers reviewing the VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 datasheet, VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 pinout, VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 application, or VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 3.6 A (25.3–28 V), low 21–33 pF line capacitance, SOT-363 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification status per family specification.
Technical Context
This device implements five independent unidirectional TVS diodes in a single SOT-363 package, each with cathode-anode orientation referenced to ground. Its clamping behavior is characterized under IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 μs surge conditions, delivering 100 W peak pulse power handling with dynamic resistance of 0.53 Ω (TLP, 100 ns).
The VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supports automated optical inspection (AOI) via Sn (e3) lead plating, and meets MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity per J-STD-020 - enabling standard reflow without baking.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse standoff voltage specified for VESD16A5-06GHG3-08?
The VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 has a maximum reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) of 16 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage level while leaking less than 0.1 μA. This rating makes VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 suitable for protecting 12 V nominal automotive data lines and industrial control signals where transient overvoltage must be clamped above normal operating voltage but below IC damage thresholds.
Does VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 meet AEC-Q101 reliability requirements?
Yes - the 'H' in VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 denotes AEC-Q101 qualification per the Vishay VESDxxA5-06G family specification. This includes stress testing for high-temperature operating life (HTOL), temperature cycling (TC), and unbiased highly accelerated stress test (UHAST), confirming suitability for automotive under-hood and cabin applications.
What is the clamping voltage of VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 under a 3.6 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge?
The VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 clamps to 25.3–28 V when subjected to a 3.6 A, 8/20 μs surge per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured across the anode-cathode terminals during peak current and defines the maximum voltage imposed on the protected IC - critical for ensuring compatibility with downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces.
How many protected lines does VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 provide, and what is its channel configuration?
VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 provides five independent unidirectional ESD protection paths in a single SOT-363 package. Each channel consists of an anode-to-cathode diode structure, with Pins 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 forming three dedicated pairs, and Pin 6 serving as the shared cathode for the final two channels - enabling full 5-line protection with minimal PCB real estate.
What is the typical capacitance per line of VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 at 0 V bias and 1 MHz?
The typical capacitance per line of VESD16A5-06GHG3-08 is 27 pF at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, with a guaranteed range of 21–33 pF. This low, well-controlled capacitance ensures minimal signal distortion on high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0 and LVDS, preserving rise/fall times and eye diagram integrity without requiring layout mitigation.
