The SMDM200-02 is a high-power TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode array manufactured by Littelfuse. It is specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from damage caused by high-energy transient events such as lightning surges, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This particular model is designed to protect two lines.

Applications

• Industrial Power Supplies: Protects power supplies in industrial equipment from voltage surges.
• Telecom Equipment: Safeguards telecom equipment from lightning strikes and other transient events.
• Outdoor Lighting: Provides surge protection for outdoor lighting systems, such as LED streetlights.
• Medical Equipment: Protects sensitive medical devices from voltage transients.
• Renewable Energy Systems: Used in solar inverters and other renewable energy equipment to protect against surges.

Features

• High Surge Capability: Designed to withstand high surge currents without degradation.
• Low Clamping Voltage: Limits the voltage across the protected lines during transient events.
• Fast Response Time: Quickly responds to transient events, ensuring effective protection.
• 2-Line Protection: Protects two independent lines.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental standards for hazardous substance reduction.
