New 45kW high surge protection devices

The ProTek protection devices are compliant with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), IEC 61000-4-5 (Surge) and DO160 Section 22 (Lightning) standards. A range of voltage options in unidirectional and bidirectional configurations are offered.

Available in a SMT package configuration over traditional axial leaded devices, they are an excellent protection solution where board space is at a premium. Markets will include industrial / military / aerospace and the devices can be used in any application needing surge or lightning protection with robust long life performance.

David Bushnell, Managing Director of Inelco Hunter commented: “Power surges can wreak havoc on equipment, causing catastrophic failures, interrupting processes and causing equipment to prematurely age, leading to field failure. By deploying protection devices, manufacturers can mitigate potential problems and keep their equipment and the related processes up and running reliably without disruption or damage due to surge related events. Protek’s unique range of 45kW surge protection devices helps reduce costly downtime and protects sensitive electronic equipment against the damaging effects of transients.”

Inelco Hunter can supply the complete ProTek Devices product portfolio, including transient voltage suppressor arrays, avalanche breakdown diodes, steering diode TVS arrays and electronics SMD chip fuses. Uses include lightning, electrostatic discharge, nuclear electromagnetic pulses, inductive switching, and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
