Vishay VCAN36A2 and VLIN3333 ESD

Vishay’s new VCAN36A2 in the SOT-23 and SOT-323 package sizes, and VLIN3333 in the SOD-323 package size, are bidirectional ESD protection devices that clamp positive and negative overvoltage transients to the ground. Connected between the signal or data line and the ground, the ESD diodes offer high isolation with low leakage current and capacitance within the specified working range. The VCAN36A2 and VLIN3333 are also available in AEC-Q101 qualified versions.
