When 15 V-powered industrial sensors, automotive ECUs, or PoE switch ports are hit by the triple threat of ESD, CDE, and EFT, a single TVS diode with precise clamping, low capacitance, and nano-amp leakage often determines field-failure rates. The Slkor SLPESD15VL1BA was engineered for exactly this need—a unidirectional, single-line ESD protector whose key numbers come straight from the datasheet and website, no embellishment.

Read the Datasheet, Spot the Real Need

• VRWM = 15 V

Lets the part sit permanently on a 15 V rail or RS-485 bus without false triggering.

• VBR min = 16.7 V

Provides ≥1.7 V of noise margin, preventing early conduction due to ripple or spikes.

• VC = 24 V @ 1 A

Under an IEC 61000-4-2 8 kV contact-discharge pulse, residual voltage stays well below the 40 V absolute-maximum rating of common 15 V interface ICs.

• CJ = 68 pF

Maintains clean eye diagrams up to ~100 MHz single-ended or low-speed differential lines; paralleling a 100 nF coupling cap keeps total capacitance in spec.

• IR = 1 µA max (25 °C)

Less than half the self-discharge current of a coin cell—no standby-power headache for 24/7 industrial nodes.

• IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV air / ±8 kV contact

Meets the lab’s “zap-it-till-it-breaks” top tier.

• PPP = 350 W (8/20 µs)

Absorbs 350 W in micro-seconds, sparing PCB traces and connectors from becoming weak links.

• SOD-323 2-pin, 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 1.1 mm

60 % smaller footprint than SOT-23—fits right between a Type-C receptacle and an RJ45.

• 260 °C / 10 s reflow, MSL 1, 3 000 pcs/reel

Drop-in ready for high-speed pick-and-place lines; no baking required within one year of unseal.

Why 15 V Lines Demand Custom TVS

Legacy 5 V or 12 V TVS parts either break down too soon on 15 V rails or clamp too high; 24 V TVS diodes often exceed 100 pF, collapsing the eye of 125 MHz Ethernet PHYs. SLPESD15VL1BA’s 15 V VRWM + 24 V VC sweet spot eliminates both false triggers and over-voltage in one shot.

Proven in the Field

Industrial RS-485 / CAN-FD

Bus idle at 12 V, load-dump spikes to 24 V; two SLPESD15VL1BAs on A and B lines clamp 8 kV ESD to 24 V within 1 ns, keeping MCU UARTs safe.

Automotive LIN

Battery cold-crank drops to 6 V, load-dump soars to 40 V. With LIN transceivers rated at 45 V, the 24 V clamping level leaves >20 V safety margin.

USB-C PD 3.1 VBUS 15 V Rail

At 5 A, PCB copper area is only 5 mm²; measured temperature rise <10 °C with TVS and sense resistor sharing the same pad.

15 V PoE Ethernet

68 pF junction capacitance yields <0.3 dB insertion loss at 125 MHz—better than the IEEE 802.3at 0.5 dB limit.

Lab-Grade Validation

• IEC 61000-4-2 8 kV contact: residual 22 V, 15 V interface pin sees 20 V—100 % safety margin.

• IEC 61000-4-4 1 kV EFT: pulse energy reduced by 85 %—EMI test passed on first try.

• 85 °C / 1 000 h HTOL: leakage drift <0.1 µA—parameters remain rock-solid.

Bottom Line

ESD protection for 15 V interfaces is no longer the “grab-any-TVS-and-solder” era. With its precise 15 V VRWM, 24 V VC, 68 pF CJ, and 1 µA IR, the SLPESD15VL1BA stands guard over the last centimeter in industrial, automotive, and PoE 15 V links, letting engineers focus on bigger innovations.
