MALVERN, PA--(Marketwire - May 20, 2010) - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: [ VSH ]) today announced the new 4-line VCUT05A4-05S-G-08 bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) ESD protection diode array. The device offers low capacitance and leakage current for ESD protection in a wide range of data port applications such as USB 2.0 in PCs and portable consumer electronics.

The new protection array offers low capacitance of 16 pF typical at 0 V and a low leakage current of < 0.1 microamp at the working voltage of 5 V. Its widely used SOT23-5L package allows easy handling in production while featuring an ultra-low profile of 0.7 mm for board space savings.

The VCUT05A4-05S-G-08 provides transient protection for four data lines as per IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) at 25 kV (air discharge) and 20 kV (contact discharge). The device offers high surge current protection according to IEC 61000-4-5 at greater than 3.5 A.

The new array is compliant to RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and in accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC. Its lead (Pb)-free construction offers pure tin pin plating and a halogen-free molding compound.

Samples of the new VCUT05A4-05S-G-08 are available now. High-volume production quantities will be available in Q4 2010 with lead times of 8 to 10 weeks for large orders. Follow Vishay ESD protection arrays at [ http://twitter.com/VishayPowerMgmt ].
