Constructed of specially formulated metal oxide ceramic materials, RoHS-2- and REACH-compliant SURGE-GARD thermistors are optimized for a wide variety of applications that require inrush current limiting to reduce noise and circuit failure — including switching power supplies, AC motors, motor drives, audio amplifiers, and battery chargers. In these applications, the devices lower rectifier costs by reducing the required peak forward-surge-current rating.
“The SURGE-GARD series has delivered reliable circuit protection to the electronics industry for over forty years, and we are excited to see that tradition continue with Ametherm,” said Tom Busher, vice president, global IP&E of Digi-Key.
“Digi-Key has earned a worldwide reputation as the go-to source for electronic components, and we are proud to have the company stocking our SURGE-GARD line,” said Mehdi Samii, vice president of engineering at Ametherm. “Over the years, the industry has come to rely on these thermistors for unmatched circuit protection, and we will continue to manufacture them with the same metal oxide mixtures that have produced the high-quality that Digi-Key’s customers have come to expect.”
