ELECTRONICTPE12EC is an ESD (Electro Static Discharge) Protection Device manufactured by Tech Public Electronic. It is designed to provide protection to microelectronic circuits from electrostatic discharges, such as those resulting from handling and assembly. The device is RoHS compliant, which means it meets the requirements of the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. The TPE12EC is a SOD-323 (Small Outline Diode) package, which is a surface mountable device with a footprint of only 1.9 x 0.95mm (0.075 x 0.037 inches). The device has two terminals, the anode and cathode, with the anode identified by a bump on the top side of the device. The TPE12EC is ideal for protecting sensitive microcircuits in automotive, medical, consumer, and other electronics applications.
