ProTek Devices has introduced a new family of multi-line low-capacitance (5pF) transient voltage suppressor (TVS) arrays that provide board-level circuit protection in wireless and telecommunications equipment.
The SMP6LLC05-2P – SMP6LLC12-2P series consists of three TVS array components with varying minimum breakdown voltages. The SMP6LLC05-2P has a minimum breakdown voltage of 6.0 volts, while the SMP6LLC6.5-2P and SMP6LLC12-2P provide minimum breakdown voltages of 7.2 and 13.3 volts, respectively.
According to the company, the series offers standard TTL and MOS bus line application circuit protection against electrostatic discharges (ESD), tertiary lightning, and switching transients. The new transient voltage suppressors has a peak pulse power per line rating of 400 watts for a 10/1000 micro seconds wave shape and 3,900 watts peak pulse power per line for a typical 8/20 micro seconds wave shape. In addition, they provide 100A (2/10 micro seconds), per Bellcore GR-1089 (intra building), and ITKU.20 peak pulse current at 40A (5/310 micro seconds).
These RoHS and REACH compliant circuit protection devices meet IEC standards requirements 61000-4-2 (ESD), 61000-4-4 for electrical fast transients (EFT), and 61000-4-5 (surge). They offer bidirectional configuration, to protect two bidirectional lines, and high surge capabilities.
