New set of TVS devices deliver MIL-STD grade circuit protection in aircrafts
30-10-2024 | Protek | Passives
ProTek Devices has released a new set of TVS primarily for 28V aircraft circuit protection applications, such as DC power supply protection. For this effort, the TVS devices meet standards compliance for MIL-STD-704 and MIL-STD-19500 and are RTCA DO-160G standards compliant.
The devices are 15kW silicon TVS devices. These assemblies typically operate with a minimum source impedance of 0.25-Ohms. They have a peak pulse power rating of 15,000W for a 1MS waveshape. Therefore, they can also be employed in applications where induced lightning on rural or remote transmission lines is hazardous to electronic circuitry.
The PAL704-P15K36 is designed for high current short peak pulse transient applications. Meanwhile, the PAL704-P15K36T is designed for extended peak pulse transients greater than one millisecond. Each device is 100% tested.
The devices are now available in a moulded plastic case. The PAL704-P15K36 weighs approximately 30g, while the PAL704-P15K36T weighs approximately 48g. Both parts also have a flammability rating of UL 94V-0. The operating and storage temperatures are -55C to 150C.
