Arc-flash protection relay sized to fit tight footprints
Now available from Littelfuse, Inc. is the AF0100, a compact, cost-effective arc-flash protection relay sized to fit tight footprints and budgets. The Littelfuse AF0100 is the third in a series of arc-flash relays and is 30 percent smaller than previous models. Measuring just 90 mm (3.5 inches) high x 128 mm (5.0 inches) wide x 60 […]
TVS Diode Arrays Safeguard HBLED Strings
Littelfuse, Inc. introduced a series of TVS Diode Arrays (SPA® Diodes) designed to protect each I/O pin of electronic equipment subject to destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD) or electrical fast transients (EFT). The new SP1064 Series TVS Diode Arrays are Zener diodes fabricated using a proprietary silicon-avalanche technology. These robust diodes can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes […]
Unidirectional TVS diode arrays come in space-saving 01005 flip-chip packages
Littelfuse, Inc. today introduced an industry first: a new series of three unidirectional TVS diode arrays in space-saving 01005 flip chip packages(0.230mm x 0.430mm). Unidirectional protection is typically preferable to bidirectional protection, particularly on logic and data lines, which typically do not transit zero volts during standard operation. The new SP3145 Series TVS Diode Arrays (SPA® […]
Motor protection relays carry wireless monitoring and control capabilities
Littelfuse, Inc. today introduced a next-generation motor protection relay designed to enhance worker safety while allowing for faster, easier control and troubleshooting. The MP8000/MP8100 Series Bluetooth® Enabled Motor Protection Relay allows maintenance personnel to communicate with the relay from up to 30 feet away using an app on an iPhone® or Android™ smartphone or tablet computer. […]
Surface mount TVS diodes safeguard sensitive automotive electronics
Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, today introduced a series of AEC-Q101 qualified TVS Diodes designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by load dump and other transient voltage events. SLD8S Series Automotive SMT Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes offer a choice of 7000W (10/1000μs) or 2200W (load dump) […]
High-power varistors work at 125°C with 2.5 kV isolation voltage
Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, today introduced its first varistor series designed for high power applications that can operate at ambient temperatures up to 125°C with 2500V isolation voltage.
