ProTek Devices Intros Series of TVS Components for Industrial Application Circuit Protection

The New TVS Components are Ideal for Protecting Against High Voltage Spikes in Relay Drives and EMF With Starting and Stopping Motors, to Lightning in AC/DC Systems

TEMPE, Ariz. – March 15, 2022 – ProTek Devices has introduced a series of high-powered surface mount transient voltage suppression components that provide circuit protection in numerous industrial applications. These applications include relay drives, motor start-and-stop electromagnetic field protection, module lightning protection, and secondary lightning protection in AC/DC applications.

The SM30KWExxA/CA series consists of many TVS components ranging in rated stand-off voltages from 16.0 to 78.0 volts. The parts boast compliance with the standard, RTCA DO-160G. They also feature waveforms (pin injection) three and four – level five; and waveform 5A – level four. Other features include a low clamping voltage and 30 kilowatts peak pulse power per line (typical = 10/1000 microseconds).

In addition, they provide engineers with the ability for unidirectional and bidirectional configurations and easy mounting on printed circuit boards. The parts are all RoHS and REACH compliant.

Mechanical Details and Availability Information

ProTek Devices’ SM30KWExxA/CA series of TVS components have an approximate weight of just 1.2 grams. The component comes in a molded surface mount package. Other mechanical and packaging characteristics include operating and storage temperatures of -55 to 150 degrees Celsius. Packaging is lead-free 100 percent tin plating. The components perform with a solder reflow temperature of 260 degrees Celsius, 10 seconds. Finally, the series have a flammability rating of UL 94V-0.

The TVS components are available on 24mm tape and reel, per EIA standard 481, in minimum quantities of 1,000. Pricing information and purchasing details can be obtained by contacting any authorized worldwide distributor, representative, or directly with ProTek Devices. These sales resources are available throughout North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and more. Full contact information for all regions can be found at the company website.

ProTek Devices’ circuit protection components include transient voltage suppressors, TVS diodes, steering diode TVS arrays, and other modules and components. They are used worldwide in numerous applications to guard against various electric transient surges and high voltage spikes that can damage electronics investments. This includes in aerospace subsystems, automotive subsystems, computing interfaces, consumer electronics, industrial and instrumentation equipment, medical devices, military subsystems, and in networking and communications equipment.
