Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) announced the introduction of a new ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection diode – the DF5G7M2N. Built to protect equipment attached to communication lines, the DF5G7M2N shields high-speed interfaces such as USB3.1, HDMI®, DisplayPort™ and Thunderbolt™ from static electricity. It can also be used to protect small portable devices such as smartphones and tablets from ESD events.

Housed in a DFN5 package that reduces its footprint to less than 50 percent compared with the DF10G7M1N (DFN10: 2.5×1.0 mm, 4bit), the DF5G7M2N simplifies wiring design, making it suitable for high density mounting. Additionally, Toshiba’s new ESD diode realizes low capacitance and low dynamic resistance by optimizing the process, suppressing signal quality deterioration and providing high ESD resistance.

Features of the DF5G7M2N include: Low capacitance and low dynamic resistance (CT=0.2 pF , RDYN=1 ); Suppresses deterioration in signal quality (insertion loss) by lowering capacitance (|S21|(2) = -1.3 dB @f=10 GHz); Electrostatic discharge immunity tests IEC61000-4-2(Contact discharge): Over ±8 kV; DFN5 package (1.3×0.8 mm); and bidirectional 4 line multi-bit (a flow-through type). Toshiba’s new ESD diode is available now, with budgetary pricing estimated at $0.06.
