Product features
0603ESDA-TR1
ESD suppressor
•0603/1608 footprint surface mount device
•Ideal ESD protection for high frequency, low
voltage applications.
•Provides ESD protection with fast response
time (<1ns) allowing equipment to pass IEC
61000-4-2 testing
•Very low leakage current
•Ultra low capacitance (0.15 pF maximum)
•Bi-directional
Device marking
0603ESDA-TR1 ESD Suppressors are marked on the tape and reel
packages, not individually. Since the product is bi-directional and
symmetrical, no orientation marking is required.
Design considerations
The location in the circuit for the 0603ESDA-TR1 family has to
be carefully determined. For better performance, the device
should be placed as close to the signal input as possible and
ahead of any other component. Due to the high current
associated with an ESD event, it is recommended to use a “0-
stub” pad design (pad directly on the signal/data line and
second pad directly on common ground).
Processing recommendations
The 0603ESDA-TR1 family currently has a convex profile on the
top surface of the part. This profile is a result of the construction
of the device. They can be processed using standard pick-and-
place equipment. The placement and processing techniques for
these devices are similar to those used for chip resistors and chip
capacitors.

1. Some shifting in characteristics may occur when tested over several hundred ESD
pulses at very rapid rate of 1 pulse per second or faster.
2. Per IEC 61000-4-2, 30A @ 8 kV, level 4, clamp measurement made 30 ns after
initiation of pulse, all tests in contact discharge mode.
3. Trigger measurement made using Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) method.
4. PolySURG™ devices are capable of withstanding up to a 15 kV, 45 A ESD pulse.
Device ratings are given at 8 kV per Note 1, unless otherwise specified.
