ProTek Devices Intros TVS Diode Array for Automated Factory Sensor Circuit Protection
Release Date: September 24 2018
ProTek Devices has introduced a TVS diode array designed for circuit protection of proximity sensors in automated factory sensory applications. The new device features a double diode array for switch protection and reverse blocking protection.
The PDFN3-32 is designed to protect 24-volt proximity sensors. It is compatible with IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air +/-15kV, contact +/-8kV; and 61000-4-4 (EFT): 40A, 5/50ns; and 61000-4-5 (surge): 40A, 8/20 micro seconds; and for interface with logic input types 1, 2, 3 and IEC 61131-2. This transient voltage suppressor diode array's minimum breakdown voltage (VBR) is 34V and maximum clamping voltage is 55V at 25A, 8/20 micro seconds. The blocking diode drop forward voltage (VF) is 1.1V at 300mA and the blocking diode maximum 10ms square pulse current (IFSM) is 3A. The ambient operating temperature is -40 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius. The PDFN3-32 is also RoHS and REACH compliant.
Mechanical, Packaging and Availability Information
Now available, the PDFN3-32 is an ideal solution where board space is at a premium, as it is provided in a molded DFN-3 package. Other key mechanical characteristics include lead-free plating and a solder reflow temperature of 260-270 degrees Celsius. The device's flammability rating is UL 94V-0. It is delivered on 8mm tape and reel, per EIA standard 481, in minimum quantities of 3,000.
