AEM Components introduces the latest series of High-Voltage (SV) protection SMD components in its High Surge Protection (HSP) multilayer varistor family. These devices are constructed with AEM's nanotechnology and ceramic-based compound. This combination results in a product line that is capable of clamping high voltage and current surges to safe levels.
Important features of the HSP Series include: Compact footprint (1210 – 1812 – 2202 package sizes); High voltage withstand (250- to 300-Vac); High surge current withstand (200- to 800-A, dependent on package size); Meets voltage surge requirements of Energy Star and IEC61000-4-5; and Lead-free and RoHS.
By meeting the IEC61000-4-5 standard and having a compact footprint, the HSP SV is a practical solution for LED lighting applications where board space is limited. Other common applications include power boards, base stations, AC power supplies, industry equipment, and controllers. The HSP SV series is now available in mass quantities. Pricing starts at $0.414 to $0.672 per unit for OEM quantities.
