PESD0402MS18

TWGMC · ESD And Surge Protection (TVS/ESD) · 0402

PESD0402MS18 from TWGMC, in a 0402. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A passive One terminal of the bi-directional ESD suppressor, connected to the protected line; rated for 18 V maximum continuous operating voltage and ±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air ESD per IEC 61000-4-2.
2 B passive Second terminal of the bi-directional ESD suppressor, connected to ground or the return reference; the device is symmetric, with 0.05 pF typical capacitance and less than 100 nA leakage.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: PESD0402MS18
  • Footprint: Diode_SMD:D_0402_1005Metric
  • 3D model: 0402, generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 0.4 mm nominal 0402 height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: pesd0402ms18-etched.step / pesd0402ms18-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); pesd0402ms18.step / pesd0402ms18.glb are the bare package body.
