SIDACtor Devices
CATV Line Amplifiers/Power Inserters 3 kA SIDACtor® Device
This SIDACtor device is a 3000 A solid state protection device offered in a non-isolated
TO-263 (D
2
) package. It protects equipment located in the severe surge environment of
CATV (Community Antenna TV) systems and antenna locations.
* “L” in part number indicates RoHS compliance. For non-RoHS compliant device, delete “L” from part number.
For surge ratings, see table below.
** I
T
is a free air rating; heat sink I
T
rating is 25 A.
General Notes:
• All measurements are made at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. I
PP
applies to -40 °C through +85 °C temperature range.
• I
PP
is a repetitive surge rating and is guaranteed for the life of the product.
• Listed SIDACtor devices are bi-directional. All electrical parameters and surge ratings apply to forward and reverse polarities.
• V
DRM
is measured at I
DRM.
• V
S
is measured at 100 V/µs.
• Special voltage (V
S
and V
DRM
) and holding current (I
H
) requirements are available upon request.
