Product details
Overview
VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 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 VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 datasheet, VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 pinout, VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 application, or VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD-323 footprint compatibility, sub-0.05 μA leakage at 16 V, and verified LIN-bus timing integrity under ESD stress.
Technical Context
This device operates as a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-anode polarity, optimized for bidirectional LIN bus signaling where only one line requires protection. Its 18–20 V breakdown voltage (VBR at 1 mA) ensures reliable conduction during transients while maintaining signal integrity below 16 V working range.
The SOD-323 package enables high-density placement on LIN transceiver PCBs, and its MSL Level 1 soldering profile supports standard reflow processes up to 260 °C peak. The e3 tin-plated terminations meet RoHS and lead-free requirements without compromising solderability or long-term reliability.
Key Specifications

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 clamping voltage (≤14 V at 1 A), higher capacitance (35 pF) | Better for low-voltage logic interfaces; less suitable for 12 V LIN due to tighter margin above VRWM | Prefer when protecting 3.3 V or 5 V buses where lower VC outweighs capacitance penalty |
| TPD1E10B06DPYR | Bidirectional configuration, 6 V VRWM, 0.5 pF typical capacitance | Designed for high-speed digital lines (USB, I²C); not rated for LIN voltage range or AEC-Q101 | Select only for non-automotive, low-voltage, high-frequency signal lines requiring ultra-low CD |
Compared with ESDALC6V1-1U2 and TPD1E10B06DPYR, VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 uniquely balances 16 V working voltage, AEC-Q101 qualification, and LIN-optimized 24 pF max capacitance - making it the only drop-in solution for production automotive LIN nodes requiring certified reliability and signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the primary function of VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 in a LIN bus system?
The VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 functions as a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor that protects the LIN data line from electrostatic discharge events. It clamps voltages above 16 V to safe levels (≤25 V at 1 A), preserving the integrity of the LIN transceiver and ensuring reliable communication in automotive body electronics. Its design directly supports the ISO 17987 physical layer specification.
Is VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for H3B-class human body model ESD (>8 kV). It operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and meets moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 requirements - confirming suitability for under-hood and interior automotive modules where reliability is critical.
What does the "-18" suffix in VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 indicate?
The "-18" suffix denotes the packaging configuration: 10,000 units per 13-inch reel on 8 mm tape. This differs from "-08", which indicates 3,000 units per 7-inch reel. Both share identical electrical and mechanical specifications - only the reel size and quantity differ for manufacturing logistics and SMT line feed optimization.
Can VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 be used on bidirectional LIN bus lines?
VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 is unidirectional and intended for protection of the LIN data line referenced to ground - consistent with standard LIN bus architecture where the slave node pulls the line low and the master supplies pull-up. It is not designed for true bidirectional differential signaling; using it on non-LIN differential buses (e.g., CAN) would require verification of polarity and voltage margins.
How does the 24 pF capacitance of VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 affect LIN signal integrity?
The 18–24 pF capacitance of VLIN1616-02GHE3-18 is intentionally minimized to avoid distorting the LIN bus's 19.2 kbps NRZ signal. At this value, rise/fall times remain within ISO 17987 limits, and reflections or ringing are suppressed - unlike higher-capacitance protectors that risk violating timing budgets or causing false dominant detection in LIN transceivers.
