ProTek Devices Intros New Steering Diode That Protects Against Electrical Transients in Common Computing Interfaces
PLR0506LC Press Release
ProTek Devices has introduced an ultra-low capacitance steering diode / TVS array for circuit protection against electrostatic discharge and surge transient voltages in Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and other computing interfaces. The new component provides protection for six rail-to-rail data lines, making it optimal for applications with minimal board space.
The PLR0506LC is specifically ideal to protect high-speed data port like USB Type-C, but is also applicable for Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0, SATA, and other PCIe interfaces. It is compatible with IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air 15kV, contact 8kV; with 61000-4-4 (EFT): 40A – 5/50ns; and with 61000-4-5 (lightning): 4A – 8/20 microseconds.
The typical capacitance I/O to ground is 0.4pF and I/O to I/O is 0.25pF at 0Vdcc, 1MHz. The PLR0506LC delivers ESD protection up to 25 kilovolts and has a low clamping voltage of 22V at 4A. Its ultra-low capacitance is 0.25pF typical, I/O to I/O. The PLR0506LC is also RoHS and REACH compliant.
Mechanical Characteristics
ProTek Devices PLR0506LC is provided in a molded JEDEC DFN-8 package with an approximate weight of just seven milligrams. Other mechanical and packaging characteristics include lead-free pure-tin annealed plating and a solder reflow temperature (pure-tin – Sn, 100) of 260-270 degrees Celsius. Operating and storage temperatures are -55 to 150 degrees Celsius. And the flammability rating is UL 94V-0.
Order Information
This steering diode / TVS arrays is provided on 8mm tape and reel, per EIA Standard 481, in quantities starting at 3,000 units. 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.
