Multiport line protector

25 April 2001 Circuit & System Protection

A new multiport line protector designed to offer customers a monolithic solution for protecting multiple twisted pairs from overvoltage conditions is offered by Teccor. Based on a 6-pin SOIC package, the company's multiport line protector is equivalent to four discrete DO-214 or two TO-220 packages. Available in surge current ratings of up to 500 A, the multiport line protector is suited for densely populated, high-speed line cards that cannot tolerate inefficient PCB utilisation or use series power resistors.

Key features:

* Monolithic packaging equivalent to four discrete components.

* Reduced component count for improved placement cost.

* 500 A surge current rating meets all GR1089 and FCC Part 68 surge immunity requirement.

* Meets UL1950 and ECN950 creepage and clearance requirements.

* Uses patented ion implant technology for peerless performance.
