The EPCOS (TDK) S236/2.5/M is a surge arrester designed to provide protection for sensitive electronic equipment against voltage surges. It functions by diverting excess voltage, caused by lightning strikes, switching events, or electrostatic discharge, to ground, thus preventing damage to protected circuits.

Applications

• Protection of signal lines
• Surge protection for power supplies
• Industrial automation systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Security systems

Features

• High Surge Current Capability: Capable of withstanding significant surge currents without degradation.
• Fast Response Time: Reacts quickly to voltage surges, limiting the voltage across protected components.
• Low Clamping Voltage: Provides a low clamping voltage to ensure sensitive circuits are not exposed to excessive voltage levels.
• Compact Size: Small form factor allows for easy integration into various electronic devices.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental regulations for hazardous substances.

Benefits

• Prevents Equipment Damage: Reduces the risk of damage to electronic equipment due to voltage surges.
• Improves System Uptime: Enhances system reliability by preventing surge-related failures.
• Reduces Maintenance Costs: Lowers maintenance expenses associated with repairing or replacing surge-damaged equipment.
• Enhances Safety: Protects personnel from electrical hazards caused by voltage surges.
• Extends Equipment Lifespan: Prolongs the operational life of electronic equipment by protecting it from transient voltage stress.
