Overvoltage and overcurrent protection design
Candidate for:EE Awards - Innovation R&D Award
Pxxx0S3G-A SIDACtor® Protection Thyristor Series, the industry’s first 2 kA thyristors in a compact DO-214AB (SMC) package. The Pxxx0S3G-A series, designed to safeguard equipment in harsh environments from severe overvoltage transients, enables engineers to achieve greater product miniaturization while maintaining superior protection and compliance with regulatory standards.
Key Features and Benefits
• High Surge Protection in Compact Form Factor: The Pxxx0S3G-A Series offers 2 kA (8/20 µs) surge protection in a DO-214AB (SMC) package, the smallest available form factor capable of such high-power density.
• Enhanced Design Flexibility: Compared to traditional solutions requiring a larger TO-262 package, the DO-214AB's compact size allows for easier integration into space-constrained designs, including IoT devices, high-power density industrial equipment, and medical power supplies.
• Reliability and Longevity: Unlike legacy solutions that degrade over time, the Pxxx0S3G-A series sustains transients without degradation, ensuring long-term equipment protection and reducing maintenance costs.
• Automotive Grade Compliance: The series fully complies with AEC-Q101 standards, making it ideal for automotive applications such as On Board Charger (OBC) protection, BEV/PHEV protection, and automotive battery charging systems.
