Littelfuse High Surge Current Thyristors

The Littelfuse 3kA SIDACtor series high surge current protection thyristors are bi-directional protection thyristor devices designed to be used in series with clamping device such as varistors or TVS diodes for protecting AC power input lines.

The 5kA series SIDACtor components are designed to protect equipment located in high exposure environments from severe overvoltage transients.

Features

3KA SIDACtor Series:

  • 3kA 8/20 surge rating 
  • Automotive grade AEC-Q101 qualified 
  • AC mains protection between L -N 
  • low overshoot voltage 
  • Low on-state voltage 
  • Surge capability does not degrade after multiple events within its surge ratings
  • Fails short circuit if surged in excess of its surge rating 
  • Fast response in ns 
  • Pb-free E3 means 2nd level interconnect is Pb-free and the terminal finish material is tin(Sn) (IPC/JEDEC J-STD609A.01) 
  • RoHS compliant, leadfree and halogen-free
