Littelfuse SP03A Series TVS Diode Arrays Provide Lightning Surge Protection for 1Gb Ethernet Ports

Littelfuse SP03A

Littelfuse announced the addition of the SP03A Series to its expanding line of TVS Diode Array ( SPA TM family) lightning surge and ESD protection devices. The SP03A is specifically designed for protection of Ethernet and T3/E3 data lines from lightning-induced transients up to a market leading 150A (tP=8/20µs).

Littelfuse - SP03A Series

The SP03A Series combines the low-voltage TVS with a diode bridge to provide both longitudinal and differential protection in one package. Compared to similar competitive solutions available today, the SP03A-3.3BTG provides the highest peak surge rating with lowest differential capacitance of only 4.5pF. Furthermore, the extremely low dynamic resistance of less than 0.1Ω provides best-in-class clamping performance for sensitive Ethernet PHYs. The SP03A can be used to help manufacturers of telecommunication equipment comply with regulatory standards such as GR-1089, ITU, and YD/T and offer maximum reliability in the field.
