S8-4150/TR13

Overview

The S8-4150/TR13 is a multi-chip ESD protection diode array manufactured by Microchip Technology. It integrates four independent diodes within a single surface-mount package, designed for high power handling and low capacitance performance. The device features a breakdown voltage (VBR) of 75V and supports a forward current (IF) of 400mA DC. Packaged in an 8-SOIC form factor with a width of 3.90mm, it provides efficient electrostatic discharge protection for sensitive electronic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent diode lines for comprehensive circuit protection
• Engineered for low capacitance to maintain signal integrity
• High power handling capability for robust ESD defense

Applications

• Electrostatic discharge protection for data lines
• ESD suppression in consumer electronics interfaces
• Protection of sensitive input/output ports in industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TR13 confirms the reel packaging format as documented. Ensure the part number matches the exact Microchip Technology designation for the S8-4150 series. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official datasheet for the latest product change notifications and environmental compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple independent protection channels are required in a compact footprint. The 8-SOIC package suits automated surface-mount assembly processes. Consider the 75V breakdown voltage limit relative to the operating voltage of the protected lines. Evaluate the low capacitance specification against high-speed signal requirements to ensure minimal interference.

Part Context

This component belongs to Microchip Technology's family of ESD protection diodes and TVS diodes. It serves as a specialized solution for managing transient voltage spikes and static discharge events. The S8-4150 variant specifically addresses applications requiring multiple protection lines within a single integrated device, offering a space-saving alternative to discrete diode arrangements.
