AEC-Q200 qualified upgrade with better clamping, but ultra-low capacitance requires design review.
0402ESDA-24N is a 24V bi-directional polymer ESD suppressor in a 0402 package, notable for its ultra-low leakage current (<1nA) and 1.5pF capacitance. Finding a direct replacement requires careful matching of these key electrical parameters.
Leakage current and capacitance differences are significant across candidates.
The 0402 package is common and several candidates match the footprint.
No direct drop-in replacement was found. All candidates have significant parametric differences in leakage current or capacitance, requiring engineering validation.
For high-speed signals, upgrade to an ultra-low capacitance part like AXGD10402KR. For general use, SLESDL0402-24 is a closer capacitance match but is a downgrade on leakage.
The main risk is circuit malfunction or performance degradation due to mismatched leakage current and capacitance.

AXGD10402KR is a strong functional alternative with better clamping voltage and AEC-Q200 qualification, but its much lower capacitance (0.04pF vs 1.5pF) requires engineering review. For a closer capacitance match, SLESDL0402-24 is an option, but has higher leakage current.
