ProTek Devices has added two steering diode/transient voltage suppressor (TVS) arrays that provide circuit protection for a wide variety of applications, such as telecommunications interfaces, computing interfaces, video cards and more. One of the new devices can also be used to guard against electromagnetic interference/radio frequency interference.
The PLR4045 provides ultra-low capacitance of 1,6 pF while delivering circuit protection for critical applications. These applications include 2.5GBASE-T, T1/E1 and T3/E3 chip-side protection, DVI interfaces and USB 2.0 interfaces. It is rated at 600 Watts peak pulse power (8/20 microseconds waveform). It is compatible with IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air ±15 kV, contact ±8 kV; 61000-4-4 (EFT); and 61000-4-5 (surge).
At higher operating frequencies, or faster edge rates, insertion loss and signal integrity are a major concern. The PLR4045, in conjunction with passive components integrated into a TVS/filter network, can be used for EMI/RFI protection. ESD protection is > 25 kV. The device also offers unidirectional configuration, a low clamping voltage of 20 V at IPPM = 30 A, and protects four I/O ports and a power supply.
The PSRV2.8-2LC is an addition to the PSRV-2LC series of low-capacitance (1 pF typical) steering diode /TVS arrays, and offers a 2,8 V rated standoff voltage. The component is ideal for circuit protection in Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base T, USB, handheld electronics, video cards, WAN/LAN and similar equipment. This series is designed to protect two line pair or four data/transmission lines from the effects of ESD and EFT.
The PSRV2.8-2LC is ideal for low-voltage circuit applications and the low capacitance of the steering diode allows the designer to protect high-speed data applications. This device is compatible with IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air: ±15 kV, contact: ±8 kV; 61000-4-4 (EFT): 40 A - 5/50 ns; and 61000-4-5 (surge): 24 A, 8/20 microseconds, level 2 (LineGnd) and level 3 (Line-Line). It features 300 Watts peak pulse power per line (typical = 8/20 microseconds), and provides two lines of protection and low leakage current of less than 1,0 μA. Other rated standoff voltages in the series include 3,3 V and 5 V. The leakage current for the 3,3 V device is less than 1,0 μA.

As soon as electronics and electrical systems started interfering with each other, the world had to come to some consensus. Considering physics is universal and does not care about what country electrical/electronic products are used in, it should be the same everywhere, right? It is nearly there, but not quite.
