Littelfuse Inc has introduced the Q2L series C-Rated SIDACtor device.
With a footprint of only 3.3x3.3mm and only 1mm in height, it is the smallest protection thyristor in the telecom protection market to provide such a high level of surge protection - boasting a surge rating of 500A 2x10ºs.
Its small package QFN (Quad Flatpak No-Lead) is suitable for dense board applications such as line cards and other multi-channel telecommunications equipment.
The Q2L series C-Rated SIDACtor device provides bidirectional transient voltage protection and offers a wide range of Ipp ratings, including 200A for 5x310/10x700µs event (ITU/YDT waveform), 100A for 10x1000µs event (GR 1089 waveform) and 150A for 10x560µs event (TIA-968-A).
With proven Teccor brand SIDACtor technology and an innovative design, the C-Rated version is truly in a class by itself.
This device is equipped with leads on the bottom to address the creepage and clearance requirements of UL/EN 60950, providing more efficient routing of traces on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Its low clearance also makes it possible to be used on the ‘back-side’ of the PCB, saving space and allowing for additional board size reduction.
As an added advantage, the C-Rated SIDACtor device is extremely durable, delivering exceptional performance in applications exposed to the environment, including remote terminals, loop extenders, wireless remote sites, repeater sites and many more.
