Automotive surface mount load dump TVS helps to overcome transient surges

Now available through TTI Europe are SLD8S Series Automotive SMT Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes from Littelfuse offering a choice of 7000W (10/1000µs) or 2200W (load dump) peak pulse power dissipation ratings in a surface mount SMTO-263 package. The high peak pulse power dissipation ratings enable power systems to pass the ISO test standards that are widely used in the automotive industry as the basis for transient specifications. The series components meet ISO7637-2 5a/5b protection and ISO16750 load dump test specifications. Their surface mount package is ideal for automatic pick-and-place assembly and reflow processes. The TVS diodes help reduce manufacturing costs and allow for higher soldering quality than axial leads packages. A wide standoff voltage range from 12V up to 57V fulfills all design requirements for automotive applications. The excellent quality and high reliability make the devices ideal for load dump protection and ESD protection in automotive electronics like ECUs, TCUs, BCMs, BMSs, sensors, and entertainment systems, as well as in other long pulse applications. The TVS diodes are also halogen-free and AEC-Q101 qualified.
