Find and compare alternatives for the BORN 0402ESDA-18N, an 18V bi-directional ESD suppressor in a 0402 package. Review key parameter differences like voltage, capacitance, and leakage current before selecting a substitute.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Must verify key parameters like clamping voltage and leakage current.

Package risklow

0402 package is standard and widely available.

Can it be replaced directly?

No exact 1-to-1 direct replacement is listed, but the BORN 0402ESDA-24N is a near-identical part from the same family with a higher voltage rating, making it a very low-risk substitute.

Best replacement path

For a low-risk upgrade, use 0402ESDA-24N from the same manufacturer. For improved performance, especially in high-speed circuits, the Littelfuse AXGD10402KR is a superior choice.

Main risk

The primary risk is selecting a substitute with weaker protection characteristics, such as higher clamping voltage or leakage current, which could compromise circuit reliability.
