Product details
Overview
VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a single-line, low-capacitance ESD protection diode optimized for LIN-bus communication systems. It features a reverse stand-off voltage of 16 V, clamping voltage ≤25 V at 1 A (8/20 μs), load capacitance <24 pF, leakage current <0.05 μA, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge rating - enabling robust transient suppression in automotive body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 datasheet, VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 pinout, VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 application, or VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOD-323 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, LIN-specific voltage tolerance, ultra-low capacitance for signal integrity, and verified HBM Class H3B (>8 kV) ESD performance.
Technical Context
The VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode configured as a single-channel cathode-grounded clamp. Its 16 V VRWM aligns with LIN bus nominal 12 V operation and tolerates load-dump transients up to ±33 V clamping at 6 A peak pulse current. The device uses silicon avalanche junction technology with e3 tin-plated terminations and meets MSL Level 1 soldering requirements.
It operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and delivers stable clamping behavior under IEC 61000-4-5 (8/20 μs) and TLP (100 ns) waveforms. Capacitance remains below 24 pF at 0 V bias, preserving signal rise time in 19.2 kbps LIN data transmission without distortion.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESDALC6V1-1U2 | Lower VRWM (6 V); higher capacitance (35 pF); same SOD-323 package | Designed for general-purpose 5 V interfaces, not LIN-specific voltage margins | Select only if protecting sub-7 V logic lines - unsuitable for direct LIN bus placement |
| TPD1E05U06DPYR | 12 V VRWM; 0.6 pF typical capacitance; 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm DFN package | Optimized for high-speed USB/MIPI; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and LIN voltage headroom | Prefer for space-constrained consumer designs - not recommended for automotive LIN compliance |
Compared with ESDALC6V1-1U2 and TPD1E05U06DPYR, the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 uniquely combines LIN-aligned 16 V standoff, AEC-Q101 qualification, and sub-24 pF capacitance in a production-proven SOD-323 footprint - making it the only option validated for under-hood and body electronics where voltage margin and automotive reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 during an 8/20 μs surge?
The VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 clamps to ≤25 V at 1 A and ≤33 V at its rated 6 A peak pulse current (8/20 μs waveform). This ensures downstream LIN transceivers remain within absolute maximum ratings during ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 surge events. The clamping behavior is characterized per Figure 6 in the official Vishay datasheet (Doc. #85924, Rev. 1.5).
Is the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101 standards?
Yes, the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and human body model ESD (H3B > 8 kV). This qualification is explicitly stated in the "Ordering Information" and "Features" sections of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 85924), confirming its suitability for automotive under-hood and body control applications.
What is the typical capacitance of the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 at 0 V bias?
The typical capacitance of the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 is 18 pF at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency, with a maximum of 24 pF. This ultra-low value preserves signal integrity on 19.2 kbps LIN bus lines and is confirmed in the "Electrical Characteristics" table (Page 2) and "Fig. 4 – CD vs. VR" (Page 3) of the Vishay datasheet.
Does the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 support both contact and air discharge ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2?
Yes, the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 provides ±30 kV protection for both contact discharge and air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 (10 pulses, 25 °C ambient). This dual-mode rating is specified in the "Features" section and "Absolute Maximum Ratings" table of the Vishay datasheet (Rev. 1.5, Feb. 2025), ensuring robustness against real-world ESD threats in assembly and service environments.
What package type and marking does the VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 use?
The VLIN1616-02G-E3-08 uses the SOD-323 package (2.50 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm) with a cathode bar marking on pin 1. The "E3" in the part number denotes e3-compliant tin plating, and "08" indicates 3,000 units per 7-inch reel in 8 mm tape. Package dimensions and footprint recommendations are detailed in Figure on Page 4 of the Vishay datasheet (Doc. #85924).
