Product Description

The family of devices consists of the PACDN042, PACDN043, PACDN044, PACDN045, and PACDN046. These devices are transient voltage suppressor arrays that provide a very high level of protection for sensitive electronic components which may be subjected to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The PACDN042/43/44/45/46 devices are designed and characterized to dissipate safely ESD strikes that exceed IEC 61000-4-2 International Standard Level 4 (8kV contact discharge).

Features

• Two, three, four, five, or six transient voltage suppressors

• Compact SMT package saves board space and facilitates layout in space-critical applications

• In-system ESD protection to 20kV contact discharge, per the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard

• Lead-free versions available

Applications

• ESD protection of PC ports, including USB ports, serial ports, parallel ports, IEEE1394 ports, docking ports, proprietary ports, etc.

• Protection of interface ports or IC pins which are exposed to high ESD levels
