NP-MC series - ON Semiconductor Launches New Series of Thyristor Surge Protection Devices to Provide Overvoltage Protection with Minimal Signal Distortion
ON Semiconductor has introduced the NP-MC series - a new family of ultra-low capacitance Thyristor Surge Protection Devices that provide protection to sensitive electronic equipment from transient overvoltage conditions. With capacitance values 40 to 50 percent lower than existing products on the market, the NP-MC devices provide protection with minimal signal distortion in high-speed xDSL, T1/E1 and other broadband data transmission equipment.
Avai“The NP-MC transient surge protection series is a breakthrough product that not only enables designers to achieve compliance with stringent industry standards, but also specify remarkably low capacitance to minimize troublesome distortion that often plagues the latest high-speed telecom circuits,” said Gary Straker, general manager of Protection and Control Division at ON Semiconductor. “The fact that these new circuit protection devices offer fast switching and high surge current ratings positions ON Semiconductor to better service our customer’s needs.”
The new bidirectional, surface mount devices enable designers to achieve compliance with the various industry regulatory standards such as GR-1089-CORE, ITU-T-K.20/K.21/K.45, and IEC 60950. Housed in a small 2.6 mm x 4.3 mm SMB package, the Pb-free NP-MC series provides a space saving and cost effective solution for today’s high-speed wired communication networks.
