The markets of portable communications and telecom equipment are challenging the semiconductor industry to develop increasingly smaller electronic components for high-speed communication rates.

Bourns offers transient voltage suppressor diodes for surge and ESD protection applications in SOD-323 package size format. The transient voltage suppressor diode series offers a choice of voltage types ranging from 12 V to 24 V in a bidirectional configuration. Bourns chip diodes conform to JEDEC standards, are easy to handle on standard pick and place equipment, and their flat configuration minimizes roll away.

The Bourns device will meet IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) and will assist in meeting IEC 61000-4-5 (Surge) requirements.
