Littelfuse Introduces SP3021 and SP3031 Series TVS Diode Arrays (SPA™ Family) for Low-Capacitance ESD Protection of High Speed Data Lines

Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS), the global leader in circuit protection, today introduced the SP3021 and SP3031 Series TVS Diode Arrays for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of high-speed data lines. The SP3021 and SP3031 Series are ideal for applications that require low capacitance to maintain signal integrity and minimize performance degradation. The new devices are designed to provide robust ESD protection for high-speed ports such as HDMI1.3/1.4, USB2.0, USB3.0, eSATA and Ethernet that may experience destructive electrostatic discharges (ESD).

The SP3021 and SP3031 TVS Diode Arrays provide excellent clamping performance due to their low dynamic resistances of 1.6Ω and 0.6Ω, respectively. Both devices are assembled in a SOD-882 package (0402), making them ideal for protecting high-speed ports used in compact designs such as smart phones, external storage devices, tablets, e-readers, ultra-slim notebooks, set-top boxes and other products.

The new SP3021 and SP3031 Series are RoHS compliant and comply with the following standards:

SP3021
  •     ESD, IEC 61000-4-2, ±8kV (contact), ±15kV (air)
  •     Lightning, IEC 61000-4-5, 2A (tP=8/20µs)
  •     EFT, IEC61000-4-4 (tP=5/50ns), 40A (tP=5/50ns)
SP3031
  •     ESD, IEC 61000-4-2, ±10kV (contact), ±15kV (air)
  •     Lightning, IEC 61000-4-5, 5A (tP=8/20µs)
  •     EFT, IEC61000-4-4, 40A (tP=5/50ns)
“The SP3021 and SP3031 Series provide superior protection for electronics that may be exposed to damaging ESD. Their low capacitance makes them ideal for protecting a variety of high-speed data lines and gives the designer an alternative to multi-channel arrays.” said Chad Marak, Littelfuse Product Manager.

Littelfuse, the global leader in circuit protection, has a comprehensive range of products and solutions that provide overcurrent and overvoltage protection for any electronic application. With 85 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying circuit protection products, Littelfuse is dedicated to providing application expertise and support that meets or exceeds customers’ needs.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
