Littelfuse introduces a series of six upgraded, highly reliable transient suppression diodes

     Littelfuse Corporation, a global leader in circuit protection, announced the launch of six families of highly reliable transient suppression diodes, all of which have been upgraded and screened for aerospace applications. The 5KP/15KPA/30KPA-HR and 5KP/15KPA/30KPA-HRA series of highly reliable transient suppression diodes are designed to protect sensitive electronic devices from transient voltage damage caused by lightning surges and other transient voltage events. The product is specially screened and classified for protecting DC lines in applications with high reliability requirements.

     Suitable for providing robust DC power protection and ESD protection, these new families of transient suppression diodes are designed for avionics (avionics) applications such as FADEC, aircraft sensors, avionics computers, fly-by-wire flight control systems, cockpit electronics and airport landing assistance systems. Other uses include industrial applications such as the energy industry. In addition to these ready-to-use components, Littelfuse offers customizable upgrade screening and sorting process solutions for these products to meet the specific requirements of aerospace, military, industrial and medical applications.

     "Not long ago, if a customer needed a high-reliability transient suppression diode that had been upgraded to a specific standard, the commercial-grade component had to be sent to an external subcontract laboratory for additional classification. This extra step means customers have to wait longer for deliveries and incur higher component costs." Charlie Cai, Global Product Manager for High Reliability and Automotive Transient Suppression Diodes. "Littelfuse now offers up-screened, ready-to-use products and customizable processing processes that make it faster and more cost effective for customers to get the parts they need."
