Semtech Expands μClamp Platform with μClamp2417P to Protect Industrial Interfaces from Dangerous ESD, EFT and EOS Threats

Semtech ΜClamp2417P

The μClamp2417P 24V, surge-rated TVS protection array enables customers to exceed current industry ESD immunity standards

Semtech Corporation announced the μClamp2417P, a 7-line surge-rated, 24 V transient protection array for broad use in safeguarding industrial interfaces against transient voltage threats. The μClamp2417P offers a 10 A (8×20 µs waveform) surge immunity level in a small 2.6 × 2.6 mm QFN package and is ideal for safeguarding industrial data interfaces from electrical transient threats including electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFT) and lightning surge transients.

Semtech - ΜClamp2417P

The 7-line μClamp2417P, with its excellent voltage clamping characteristics, delivers efficient transient protection for multi-line industrial data ports. The part’s high surge immunity makes it ideal for protecting ports from induced lightning threats, and the μClamp2417P also achieves a high level of immunity against fast rise-time ESD transients, allowing customers to achieve compliance in excess of the industry’s most stringent ESD immunity standards (IEC 61000-4-2).
