ProTek Devices’ Newest TVS Array Delivers Board Level Circuit Protection in Mobile Devices

The New Component is Also Ideal in USB Fast Charging Voltage Buses, Batteries, and Industrial Equipment to Protect Against Electrical Overstress to Lightning and More

TEMPE, Ariz. – May 2, 2023 – ProTek Devices has introduced a high-powered transient voltage suppressor array (TVS array) for board level circuit protection in mobile devices, USB fast charging voltage Buses, in batteries, and in industrial equipment. The new TVS array is designed to protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to electrical overstress, lightning, CDE, and ESD.

The PVCOM24 offers a fast response time, a low operating voltage, low leakage current, and a low clamping voltage. It is compatible with IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air plus or minus 30kV, contact plus or minus 30kV; with 61000-4-4 (EFT): 4kV – 5/50ns; and with 61000-4-5 (surge): 37A, 8/20 microseconds.

It features 1,600 Watts peak pulse power per line (typical = 8/20 microseconds), unidirectional configuration and it has a high peak pulse current capability. The PVCOM24 is also RoHS and REACH compliant.

Mechanical Details and Availability Information

ProTek Devices’ PVCOM24 is available in a DFN-2 package with an approximate weight of just three milligrams. This is a similar size package to a SOD-532 or 1.6mm x 0.8mm. It has lead-free plating and a solder reflow temperature (pure-tin – Sn, 100) of 260-270 degrees Celsius. It also has a flammability rating of UL 94V-0. Operating temperature is -40 to 150 degrees Celsius and storage temperature is -55 to 150 degrees Celsius. It is available via 8mm tape and reel, per EIA standard 481, in quantities of 10,000. Customers can view the product data sheet for more information.

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. Complete distributor contact information for all regions can be found at the company website.

ProTek Devices’ circuit protection components include transient voltage suppressors (chipscale TVS arrays and EMI filter / TVS arrays), TVS diode arrays, steering diodes and steering diode hybrid arrays, steering diodes, thyristor surge suppressors, and high-powered components and modules. 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 aerospace subsystems, automotive subsystems, computing interfaces, consumer electronics, industrial and instrumentation equipment, medical devices, military subsystems, and in networking and communications equipment.
