PTH05020W: ESDS Rating?

Part Number: PTH05020W
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPSM846C24

Hello,

I need to know the ESDS (HBM Class Level) rating of the PTH05020WAH.  I already contacted the TI Customer Center, and they were only able to provide the following message re: older TI parts:  ""If Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) classification is not provided in the data sheet, then it is recommended that the device be treated as ESD sensitive and that it be manufactured using an established industry ESD control programs such as ANSI/ESD S20.20." 

After asking for more accuracy re: the ESDS threshold level (i.e. Class rating), I was advised to consult with the product specialists handling our E2E Support Channel.

Can TI management provide any more details re: just 'how ESD sensitive' these devices are?  That is, should your customers treat them as a Class 2B, Class 1C, Class 0 (HBM)?? I  just need to understand the factual ESDS attributes of this device, so I can properly identify how ESD sensitive our company, suppliers and customers should treat the CCA using these TI devices.

Thank you very much!

  • Hi Jim,

    I checked, and for this older PTH device where there is not an ESD rating in the device D/S, there is no ESD rating that we can supply.

  • Unfortunately this does not answer my question about this part's ESDS Class rating, so I’m going to have to think carefully about how to classify the entire CCA with this unknown ESD risk on board; the cost to determine the ESDS level of this device, by ourselves, is prohibitive.

    The only other thing I can think of is for TI to provide the ESDS Classification for the most similar TI component which HAS been tested.

    Please keep trying to find any test/qual data or provide a compromise solution.

    Sincerely,

    JIm Sobe

  • Hi Jim,

    We do not provide an ESD rating for this older device.

    What is your input voltage and load current required?  For example, we have the newer, smaller device TPSM846C24 with ESD ratings.
