Central Semiconductor has released the CMNTVS12V 12 V transient voltage suppressor package in the ultra-miniature SOT-953 surface mount case. This new circuit protection device can handle up to 18 W of peak power and an ESD voltage of 8 kV.
Designed to protect static sensitive data interfaces against ESD damage, the low-profile CMNTVS12V is designed for small portable handheld electronic devices such as cellphones, digital cameras, memory card ports, music players or any device with an active data port. The SOT-953 utilises 61% less board space compared to four individual SOD-923 devices and has a nominal profile of 0,45 mm. 5,6 V and 6,8 V versions are also available.
