Product details
Overview
VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 from Vishay Semiconductors is a single-line, low-capacitance ESD protection diode designed specifically for LIN-bus signal lines. It features a reverse stand-off voltage of 16 V, clamping voltage ≤25 V at 1 A (8/20 μs), load capacitance <24 pF, 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-E3-18 datasheet, VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 pinout, VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 application, or VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOD-323 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, sub-0.05 μA leakage at 16 V, and verified 6 A peak pulse current handling per IEC 61000-4-5.
Technical Context
This device implements a unidirectional TVS structure optimized for LIN bus signaling (19.2–20 kbps), with clamping behavior defined by silicon avalanche breakdown at ≥17.1 V and guaranteed operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its low 18–24 pF capacitance ensures minimal signal integrity impact on the 12 V nominal LIN line.
The SOD-323 package supports reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak, complies with MSL Level 1, and uses e3 tin-plated terminations. It is rated for 200 W peak pulse power (8/20 μs) and meets AEC-Q101 Class H3B (>8 kV HBM) for automotive deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Protection Type | Unidirectional TVS diode - protects against negative transients only; cathode tied to LIN bus, anode to ground. |
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 16 V - maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction begins; matches LIN bus DC bias range. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤25 V at 1 A (8/20 μs) - limits transient voltage seen by downstream LIN transceiver ICs during ESD events. |
| Capacitance (CD) | 18–24 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal rise/fall time degradation on 20 kbps LIN waveforms. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤0.05 μA at 16 V - negligible loading on LIN pull-up resistor network; preserves bus idle voltage stability. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact & air discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive OEM requirements for dashboard and door module interfaces. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPPM) | 6 A (8/20 μs, IEC 61000-4-5) - withstands surge events from inductive load switching in vehicle harnesses. |
Pinout & Package
SOD-323 surface-mount package: 2-pin, cathode-marked (bar), 2.85 mm × 1.60 mm × 1.15 mm body, 0.8 mm lead pitch, MSL Level 1, UL 94 V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Ground reference terminal | Connected to system ground plane; provides return path for ESD current during negative transients. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | LIN bus interface terminal | Connected directly to LIN signal line; blocks normal 12 V operation but avalanches during overvoltage events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood and cabin environments per stress test conditions including temperature cycling and HTRB. |
| e3 tin plating | RoHS-compliant, lead-free termination compatible with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles and eliminates whisker risk. |
| Low 18–24 pF capacitance | Preserves LIN signal edge fidelity without requiring trace length compensation or receiver gain adjustment. |
| ±30 kV ESD immunity | Exceeds ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 requirements for assembly-line ESD handling and end-user interaction. |
| 16 V working range | Aligned with LIN physical layer specification (ISO 17987-4); avoids false triggering during battery transients (e.g., load dump). |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Door Module Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN communication between BCM and interior switches, sensors, and actuators in harsh automotive environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ESD transient suppressor on LIN bus line upstream of transceiver IC (e.g., TLE7259-3GE).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STUSB4710QTR | Bidirectional, higher capacitance (35 pF), 12 V VRWM, integrated USB-C port protection logic. | Designed for USB Type-C PD ports - not optimized for LIN timing or automotive qualification. | Use only if dual-direction protection and protocol-aware control are required; not drop-in for LIN. |
| ON Semiconductor NUP4105LT1G | Quad-channel, 15 V VRWM, 22 pF typical capacitance, AEC-Q101 qualified, SOT-23-6 package. | Supports multi-line protection (e.g., LIN + sensor analog lines) but requires larger board area and different routing. | Select when consolidating multiple low-speed bus protections; not pin-compatible with VLIN1616-02G-E3-18. |
Compared with STUSB4710QTR and NUP4105LT1G, VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 delivers optimal trade-off of LIN-specific voltage rating, ultra-low capacitance, and minimal footprint - making it the preferred choice for dedicated single-line automotive LIN protection where space and signal fidelity are constrained.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 in a LIN bus system?
The VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 serves as a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor that clamps negative ESD transients on the LIN signal line to protect downstream transceivers. Its 16 V stand-off voltage aligns with LIN bus DC bias, and its ≤25 V clamping at 1 A ensures safe operation of ICs like the TLE7259-3GE. The VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 is placed directly at the connector or transceiver input to minimize inductance and maximize protection efficacy.
Is the VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. It passes all stress tests including HTRB, temperature cycling, and ESD per IEC 61000-4-2. The "H" in ordering codes (e.g., VLIN1616-02GHE3A18) explicitly denotes AEC-Q101 qualification - confirming its suitability for under-hood and cabin automotive modules.
How does the capacitance of VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 affect LIN signal integrity?
The VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 exhibits 18–24 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, which introduces negligible delay on standard 20 kbps LIN signals. Measured rise/fall times remain within ISO 17987-4 limits (<100 ns), avoiding bit errors or synchronization loss. This low capacitance enables direct placement at transceiver pins without trace-length tuning - a key advantage over higher-capacitance alternatives like the NUP4105LT1G.
Can VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 be used on bidirectional buses such as CAN?
No, the VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 is unidirectional and designed exclusively for LIN's single-wire, dominant/recessive signaling with 12 V nominal bias. It does not protect positive transients and lacks the symmetrical clamping needed for CAN's differential ±2 V common-mode range. Using VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 on CAN would leave the bus vulnerable to positive ESD events and violate ISO 11898-2 requirements.
What packaging options are available for VLIN1616-02G-E3-18?
The VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 is supplied in 8 mm tape-and-reel format: 3,000 units per 7-inch reel (code -08) or 10,000 units per 13-inch reel (code -18). The "E3" suffix indicates e3 matte tin plating, and "18" in VLIN1616-02G-E3-18 specifies the 13-inch reel variant. Both options comply with J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 and support automated SMT placement.
