Product details
Overview
VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional ESD-protection diode in SOD-523 package, rated for 16 V reverse standoff voltage, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge immunity, and 3.6 A peak pulse current (8/20 μs), deployed on high-speed data lines such as USB 2.0 or HDMI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 datasheet, VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 pinout, VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 application, or VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (25.3–28 V at 3.6 A), low capacitance (21–33 pF at 0 V), dynamic resistance (0.53 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive signal line protection.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-line, unidirectional TVS structure optimized for fast transient suppression on low-voltage signal paths. Its silicon avalanche junction delivers precise reverse breakdown at 17–18.8 V and maintains sub-28 V clamping under full 3.6 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge stress.
The SOD-523 footprint enables placement directly at I/O connectors with minimal parasitic inductance. Its 0.7 mm max height and 1.3 × 0.9 mm body support ultra-thin portable electronics while maintaining MSL level 1 handling per J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 16 V - maximum continuous operating voltage before leakage exceeds 0.1 μA; defines upper limit of protected signal swing. |
| Reverse Clamping Voltage | 25.3–28 V at 3.6 A (8/20 μs) - peak voltage seen by downstream IC during worst-case surge; ensures safe margin below 33 V logic rails. |
| Capacitance | 21–33 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and audio I²S lines. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - meets Level 4 system-level ESD robustness for consumer and industrial end equipment. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.53 Ω (TLP, 100 ns) - low impedance limits voltage overshoot during nanosecond-scale transients like CDM events. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C - supports under-hood automotive modules and industrial control units without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-523 package: 1.3 mm × 0.9 mm × 0.7 mm (L × W × H), cathode-marked top-side band, MSL level 1, lead (Pb)-free Sn (e3) termination, compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak ≤ 260 °C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Signal input path | Connected to protected line (e.g., USB D+); conducts during positive surges or forward-biased faults. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Connected to system ground plane; provides low-inductance return path for ESD current; marked by bar on package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional Protection | Clamps only negative transients relative to ground; preserves DC bias integrity on single-supply signal lines. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment and ADAS sensor interfaces per stress test requirements. |
| Low Capacitance | 27 pF typical at 0 V enables use on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 without measurable eye diagram closure. |
| Compact SOD-523 Footprint | 0.051″ × 0.035″ body allows placement within 2 mm of board edge connectors-critical for ESD entry-point protection. |
| Lead (Pb)-Free Termination | Sn (e3) plating supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and ensures solder joint reliability across thermal cycling. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 transceiver inputs in factory automation PLC modules exposed to maintenance personnel ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary ESD barrier on bus lines before isolation or level-shifting circuitry. Use Value: 16 V standoff matches common 12 V/24 V industrial supply domains; 3.6 A surge rating handles multiple IEC 61000-4-5 pulses without degradation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD-protection diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMF16A (ON Semiconductor) | Same 16 V standoff but higher 33 V clamping (at 3.5 A); SOD-123 package (2.8 × 1.7 mm), 3× larger footprint. | Less suitable for space-constrained USB/HDMI layouts; better for high-power industrial I/O where layout area is available. | Select when board real estate permits larger package and higher clamping voltage is acceptable for 3.3 V systems. |
| TPD2E001DRYR (Texas Instruments) | Bi-directional, dual-channel, 12 pF typical capacitance; same SOD-523 size; 15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 rating (lower than VESD16C1-02V-G3-08's 30 kV). | Designed for bidirectional data lines (e.g., I²C); insufficient for high-ESD-exposure USB ports requiring Level 4 compliance. | Prefer for low-capacitance, bidirectional interfaces where ESD threat is moderate; not drop-in for 30 kV-critical applications. |
Compared with SMF16A and TPD2E001DRYR, VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 uniquely combines 30 kV ESD immunity, 27 pF capacitance, and SOD-523 size-enabling robust, miniaturized protection on high-speed automotive and consumer data lines where both space and surge margin are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 under IEC 61000-4-5 surge conditions?
The VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 exhibits a maximum reverse clamping voltage of 28 V when subjected to a 3.6 A peak pulse current with an 8/20 μs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured at the device terminals and ensures downstream 3.3 V or 5 V ICs remain within safe operating limits during surge events. The typical clamping voltage is 25.3 V under identical conditions.
Is VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, meaning it has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness required for automotive electronic modules. It is commonly used in infotainment displays, camera links, and sensor interfaces where ambient temperatures range from −40 °C to +105 °C.
What is the capacitance of VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 and how does it affect high-speed signal integrity?
VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 has a capacitance of 21–33 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz, with a typical value of 27 pF. This low capacitance minimizes loading on high-speed signals-preserving rise/fall times and eye opening on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI 1.4 TMDS channels. Measured insertion loss remains below 0.5 dB up to 500 MHz.
Does VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 support lead-free reflow assembly?
Yes, VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 features Sn (e3) lead (Pb)-free terminations and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020. Its SOD-523 package is MSL level 1, eliminating bake requirements and enabling direct placement into standard Pb-free reflow profiles without moisture sensitivity concerns.
How is the polarity configured for VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 in circuit design?
VESD16C1-02V-G3-08 is a unidirectional diode: its anode (Pin 1) connects to the protected signal line, and its cathode (Pin 2) connects to system ground. The cathode is marked by a visible bar on the top surface of the SOD-523 package. This configuration clamps negative transients to ground while blocking positive overvoltage beyond the 16 V standoff rating.
