Product details
Overview
VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 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 VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 datasheet, VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 pinout, VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 application, or VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOD-323 footprint compatibility, AEC-Q101 qualification, LIN-specific voltage window (±16 V), sub-24 pF signal-line loading, and verified 6 A peak pulse current handling per IEC 61000-4-5.
Technical Context
This device implements a unidirectional TVS structure with cathode-grounded configuration, designed specifically to protect LIN transceiver I/O pins against electrostatic discharge and fast transient surges. Its 17.1–20 V breakdown range and 22–33 V clamping envelope at 1–6 A ensure safe voltage limiting within the LIN physical layer's ±16 V operating window while preserving signal integrity.
The SOD-323 package enables high-density placement on compact automotive PCBs, and its MSL Level 1 rating supports standard reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns. The e3 tin-plated terminations comply with RoHS and lead-free assembly requirements, and AEC-Q101 qualification confirms suitability for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Protection Lines | 1-line unidirectional TVS - protects single LIN bus line without affecting complementary signaling |
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage | 16 V - matches LIN bus nominal ±12 V with 4 V margin, preventing false triggering during normal operation |
| Clamping Voltage | ≤25 V at 1 A (8/20 μs) - limits transients below LIN transceiver absolute maximum ratings (typically 40 V) |
| Load Capacitance | 18–24 pF at 0 V - minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on 19.2–20.0 kbaud LIN data lines |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive OEM ESD immunity requirements for interior modules |
| Peak Pulse Current | 6 A (8/20 μs, IEC 61000-4-5) - withstands coupled surge events from load dump or inductive switching in vehicle harnesses |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for temperature cycling (-55 °C to +150 °C), HBM >8 kV, and mechanical shock per automotive reliability standards |
Pinout & Package
SOD-323 surface-mount package: 2-pin, cathode-bar marked, 2.5 mm × 1.25 mm footprint, 0.9 mm max height, MSL Level 1, compatible with IPC-7351B SOIC-2 land pattern.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | LIN Bus Line Input | Connected to LIN transceiver TX/RX node; conducts during overvoltage to shunt energy to ground |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Ground Reference | Internally tied to system ground plane; provides low-inductance return path for ESD current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| LIN-bus optimized voltage window | 16 V stand-off ensures no conduction during normal LIN idle/dominant states (−12 V to +12 V), avoiding signal interference |
| Sub-24 pF capacitance | Preserves LIN rise/fall times (<1 μs) and prevents bit error rate degradation at 19.2 kbaud across 40 m harness lengths |
| Low leakage (<0.05 μA) | Eliminates measurable DC loading on LIN pull-up resistors (typically 30 kΩ), maintaining bus bias stability |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including thermal cycling, humidity, and mechanical vibration stress |
| e3 tin plating | Enables reliable solder joint formation with lead-free SAC305 paste and eliminates whisker risk in long-life modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4105LT1G | Bi-directional configuration; 17 V stand-off; 25 pF typical capacitance; 3.5 A IPP | Designed for generic CAN/LIN dual-use; lacks AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive production | Acceptable for prototyping or non-automotive LIN nodes where bi-directional clamping is preferred and qualification is not required |
| STMicroelectronics ESDALC6-1BF2 | Unidirectional; 15 V stand-off; 12 pF capacitance; 4 A IPP; 0.5 pF lower CD than VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 | Targeted at ultra-high-speed interfaces; smaller SOD-523 footprint requires layout redesign | Preferred when minimizing trace capacitance is critical and board space allows SOD-523 rework; not drop-in compatible |
Compared with NUP4105LT1G and ESDALC6-1BF2, VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 delivers optimal balance of automotive qualification, LIN-specific voltage margin, and SOD-323 manufacturability - making it the default choice for volume production of AEC-Q101-compliant LIN nodes without footprint or process change.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 in a LIN-bus system?
The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 serves as a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor that protects LIN transceiver I/O pins from electrostatic discharge and fast electrical transients. It clamps overvoltage events to safe levels while introducing minimal capacitance and leakage - ensuring reliable 19.2 kbaud communication. Its 16 V stand-off voltage aligns precisely with LIN bus operating margins, and the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 is rated for ±30 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2.
Is the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures from −55 °C to +150 °C. It has passed human body model testing (>8 kV), temperature cycling, and mechanical shock validation required for automotive under-hood and cabin applications. The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 also carries e3 tin plating and RoHS compliance, meeting Tier-1 supplier sourcing requirements.
What package type does the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 use, and is it compatible with standard SMT processes?
The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 uses the SOD-323 surface-mount package - a 2-pin, cathode-bar marked case measuring 2.5 mm × 1.25 mm with 0.9 mm max height. It is MSL Level 1 rated and compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature. The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 fits IPC-7351B SOIC-2 land patterns and supports automated pick-and-place with standard nozzle tooling.
How does the capacitance of the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 affect LIN signal integrity?
The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 exhibits 18–24 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias, which is low enough to avoid distorting LIN's 19.2 kbaud NRZ signaling. This value preserves rise/fall times below 1 μs and prevents inter-symbol interference across typical 40 m harness lengths. The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08's capacitance remains stable across operating voltage, ensuring consistent timing behavior during bus dominant/idle transitions.
Can the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 replace older LIN protection diodes like the SMAJ15A?
No - the VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 is not a direct replacement for SMAJ15A. While both are TVS diodes, the SMAJ15A has higher capacitance (~200 pF), larger DO-214AC package, and no AEC-Q101 qualification. The VLIN1616-02GHE3-08's SOD-323 footprint, sub-24 pF loading, and automotive qualification make it incompatible with SMAJ15A layouts and performance targets. Replacing SMAJ15A with VLIN1616-02GHE3-08 requires PCB redesign and signal integrity validation.
