Additional Details

The ESD208-B1-02ELE6327 features a typical capacitance of around 0.25 pF, making it suitable for high-speed data lines like USB, HDMI, and Ethernet. It is housed in a small leadless package, such as a DFN (Discrete Flat No-Lead) package, which minimizes board space. The device is designed to handle ESD strikes up to ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air discharge, according to IEC 61000-4-2. The low clamping voltage ensures that the voltage seen by the protected component is kept to a minimum during an ESD event.

This ESD protection diode is also suitable for protecting antenna interfaces and other RF circuits where low capacitance is crucial to maintain signal integrity. Infineon's commitment to quality and reliability ensures that the ESD208-B1-02ELE6327 provides robust ESD protection for a wide range of electronic applications.
