Description
Dedicated to telecommunication equipment
protection, these devices provide a triple
bidirectional protection function.
They ensure the same protection capability with
the same breakdown voltage both in longitudinal
mode and transversal mode.
A particular attention has been given to the
internal wire bonding. The “4-point” configuration
ensures a reliable protection, eliminating
overvoltages introduced by the parasitic
inductances of the wiring (Ldi/dt), especially for
very fast transient overvoltages.
Dynamic characteristics have been defined for
several types of surges to meet the SLIC
maximum ratings.
