TVS Devices Deliver MIL-STD Grade Circuit Protection

PAL704-P15K36 and PAL704-P15K36T Press Release

The New PAL704-P15K36 and PAL704-P15K36T Deliver Circuit Protection in 28 Volt Aircraft Applications Like the DC Power Supply as Well as for Induced Lightning on Rural Transmission Lines

ProTek Devices has introduced a new set of transient voltage suppressors (TVS) primarily for 28 volt aircraft circuit protection applications, such as DC power supply protection. For this effort, the TVS devices meet standards compliance for MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-19500, in addition to being RTCA DO-160G standards compliant.

The PAL704-P15K36 and PAL704-P15K36T are 15 kilowatt silicon TVS devices. These assemblies typically operate with a minimum source impedance of 0.25 Ohms. They have a peak pulse power rating of 15,000 watts for a 1 MS waveshape. Therefore, they can also be used in applications where induced lightning on rural or remote transmission lines present a hazard to electronic circuitry.

The PAL704-P15K36 is designed for high current short peak pulse transient applications. Meanwhile, the PAL704-P15K36T is designed for extended peak pulse transients greater than one millisecond. Each device is 100 percent tested.
