Littelfuse has announced the ITV Series, a three-terminal, surface mountable li-ion battery protector designed to guard against the damage caused by both overcurrent and overcharging.
Solar fuses offer higher amperage in a streamlined design
Littelfuse has announced the expansion of its SPXI series in-line solar fuses to include 35 to 60 amperage models. Designed to integrate into in-line assemblies within a wire harness, these 1,500V DC solar fuses protect photovoltaic (PV) installations from overloads and short circuits to minimise damage to solar panels.
Accelerate the design cycles of SiC-based power converters
Littelfuse has announced the Gate Drive Evaluation Platform (GDEV). The new evaluation platform helps designers evaluate SiC MOSFETs, SiC Schottky diodes, and other peripheral components like gate driver circuitry, so that they can better understand how silicon carbide technologies will behave in converter applications under continuous operating conditions.
High-temperature thyristors improve thermal management
Littelfuse has announced an additional five series of high-temperature Alternistor TRIAC switching thyristors. The thyristors are designed for use as semiconductor switches in appliances and equipment powered by line AC voltages up to 250VRMS.
Differential data lines use low capacitance TVS Diode Arrays
A new series of low capacitance TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes) has been introduced by Littelfuse. The series is optimised to protect high speed differential data lines from ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD), Cable Discharge Events (CDE), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and lightning-induced surges, keeping network communications reliable by safeguarding signal integrity.
Dual channel PPTC with small footprint protects from overcurrents
Littelfuse has announced a new series of 250V Telecom PPTCs designed to help make telecom and network equipment more reliable. The TSM250-130 series protects against power cross and induced power surges as defined in ITU, Telcordia GR1089 and IEC 62368-1.
