TVS Hybrid Array Delivers Circuit Protection for High Speed Data Lines
PTA03-3.3ULC Press Release
The New Component Guards Against ESD, EFT, and More in Applications Like Ethernet, Set Top Boxes, and Various Other High Speed Interface Applications
ProTek Devices has introduced a high power, low capacitance, transient voltage suppressor hybrid array designed for circuit protections in common high speed data line applications like Ethernet, set top boxes (STB), xDSL, T1/E1 line cards, and ISDN. The circuit protection provided by the PTA03-3.3ULC includes guarding against damaging effects of ESD, EFT, and secondary electrical transient threats.
The PTA03-3.3ULC TVS hybrid array is designed to provide low capacitance – max 2.4pF (I/O to I/O) – even at higher temperatures. It features 100A (2/10 microseconds) per Bellcore GR1089 (intra-building) and ESD protection greater than 30kV, contact per IEC 61000-4-2. It also allows for a telecom/diode bridge configuration. In addition, it boasts 2000 Watts peak pulse power per Line (typical = 8/20 microseconds).
ProTek Devices’ PTA03-3.3ULC is also compatible with IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air plus or minus 15kV, contact plus or minus 8kV; with IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT): 40A – 5/50ns; with IEC 61000-4-5 (surge): 70A, 8/20 microseconds. It is also RoHS and REACH compliant.
Mechanical Characteristics
ProTek Devices’ PTA03-3.3ULC is now available, provided in a molded JEDEC SO-8 package with an approximate weight of just 70 milligrams. It has lead-free plating (annealed) and a solder reflow temperature (pure-tin – Sn, 100) of 260-270 degrees Celsius. It also has a flammability rating of UL 94V-0. The operating and storage temperature is -55 to 150 degrees Celsius. It is available via 12 mm tape and reel, per EIA standard 481, in quantities from 1,000.
