Transient voltage suppressors offer MIL-STD circuit protection for aircraft applications

Inelco Hunter offers availability of a new set of TVS from ProTek Devices, offering MIL-STD Grade circuit protection, primarily aimed at aircraft applications. The new PAL704-P15K36 and PAL704-P15K36T devices supply circuit protection in 28V aircraft applications, such as the DC power supply. These TVS devices are ideal for other applications, including environments where induced lightning on rural or remote transmission lines presents a hazard to electronic circuitry.

These TVS meet standards compliance for MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-19500, are RTCA DO-160G standards compliant, and each device is 100% tested. The PAL704-P15K36 and PAL704-P15K36T are 15kW silicon TVS devices, typically operating with a minimum source impedance of 0.25-Ohms. They have a peak pulse power rating of 15,000W for a 1MS waveshape.

The PAL704-P15K36 is designed for high current short peak pulse transient applications, with an approximate weight of 30g, while, the PAL704-P15K36T is designed for extended peak pulse transients greater than one millisecond and weighing approximately 48g. Both parts also have a flammability rating of UL 94V-0, and the operating and storage temperature is -55C to 150C.
