Chicago, Illinois - Littelfuse announced today that a new member of the AK family, the surge protection equipment product line (AK family) of high power transient suppression diodes (TVS), was added to the ak3 series. AK 3 Series transient suppression diodes are designed for high current bidirectional equipment, designed for AC / DC line protection applications, which can prevent surge caused by large industrial equipment when switching.
"The new series further expands our already very large family of transient suppression diodes. The family products are available to meet different application requirements, making litterfuse the leader in the field of surge protection technology. " Jeff chin, product manager at litterfuse, said.
These devices are designed to protect valuable and important equipment such as telecommunication infrastructure, industrial transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) systems, railway track signal control rooms, defense and avionics equipment, and power grids and transmission systems to withstand up to 3KA (tp=8/20 µ s) High energy surge current.
Littelfuse's exclusive foldbak technology can reduce the clamping voltage to the state of avalanche of equipment, which can provide more protection. In addition, the precise breakdown voltage can respond quickly when the transient phenomenon occurs in the electrical circuit.
The ak3 series is very compact in design, which means that it is only one tenth of the traditional passive devices. Therefore, the circuit design is simplified and the space occupied on the circuit board is reduced, and the total cost is greatly reduced.
The new ak3 series high power transient suppression diodes meet ROHS standards and are free of lead (PB). It also has the following advantages:
3KA surge performance (8x20 µ S wave)
two-way
Support for very low clamping voltage
Precise breakdown voltage (VBR's ± Within 5%)
Quick response (response time less than 1 microsecond)
Low slope resistance
Low leakage current (micro safety level)
Foldbak technology provides excellent clamping characteristics
No wear occurs when working within the rated range of peak pulse current
Litterfuse provides a complete set of AK high power series transient suppression diodes. The complete AK product family includes AK1, ak3, AK6, ak10 and ak15 series
