BEIJING, CHINA: Littelfuse Inc. has introduced the SPHV (unidirectional) and SPHV-C (bidirectional) Series 200W Discrete TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes), that are designed to protect sensitive equipment from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other overvoltage transients far better than earlier technologies.

The SPHV and SPHV-C Series can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level of the IEC61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation and can safely dissipate up to 8A of induced surge current with very low clamping voltages.

With their SOD882 packages, they are well suited for replacing 0402-sized multilayer varistors (MLVs) in applications such as automotive electronics, LED lighting modules, portable instrumentation, general purpose I/O, mobile and handheld devices, CAN and LIN busses, RS 232/RS 485, and other various low-speed I/Os. They are also excellent solutions for designers who need to "sprinkle" ESD and/or surge protection devices around their printed circuit boards.

The SPHV and SPHV-C Series TVS Diode Arrays are available in quantities of 10,000 in tape and reel packaging.
