NXP-intros-leadless-package-tin-plated-solderable-side-pads

(October 29, 2010)NXP Semiconductors N.V.(Nasdaq: NXPI) debuted SOD882D, a leadless package with solderable, tin-plated side pads. The SOD882D is a 2-pin plastic package measuring 1 x 0.6mm for small and thin end-use devices. With a height of 0.37mm (typical), it is also one of the flattest packages in the 1006 (0402 inch) form factor. It is available in various ESD protection and switching diodes.

The NXP SOD882D package has two tin-plated, solderable bottom pads that are exposed and are also Sn-plated on the sides. This innovative pad design provides soldering of the bottom and side pads and allows for easy visual inspection. The new package enables mechanically robust designs as it is optimized for maximum shear forces, board bending and reduces the package tilting angle. The thermal, electrical, mounting and footprint characteristics of SOD882D are fully compatible with other available 2-pin, leadless 1006-packages.

"The SOD882D is a solution to a gap in the packaging market for highly space-constrained devices such as mobile phones, tablet PCs and small handheld devices requiring special mounting and robustness," said Ralf Euler, director of product management for small-signal discretes at NXP Semiconductors.

The first products to be available in the SOD882D package are a 100V single high-speed switching diode (BAS16LD) and three 5V and 24V ESD protection diodes (PESD*LD) that are designed to protect one signal line up to 30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2; level 4). All products are AEC-Q101 qualified and values for line capacitance range between 23 and 152 pF (typical). Two 5V ESD protection diodes with only 1.05 pF and 11 pF (typical) will be launched later this year. The portfolio will also include Schottky and low capacitance ESD protection diodes which will be introduced later this year and in early 2011. The 1.05 pF and 11 pF ESD protection diodes (PESD5V0X1ULB, PESD5V0V1BLD) will be launched in December 2010. Samples of the new products are available immediately for design-in. The SOD882D is free of halogens and antimony oxides and complies with non-flammability classification UL 94V-O and RoHS standards.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. (Nasdaq: NXPI) provides High Performance Mixed Signal and Standard Product solutions that leverage its leading RF, Analog, Power Management, Interface, Security and Digital Processing expertise.
