ProTek Devices Launches TVS Diode Modules for Auto, Wireless, Ethernet and Industrial Systems

TEMPE, Ariz. April 23, 2012

The SM3KWxxA features a DFN package size of 6.5×5.5×1.2mm and the SM5KWxxA series of modules feature a DFN package size of 7.7×6.6×1.2mm.  These packages make ProTek Devices’ latest TVS modules also ideal for densely populated PC boards where smaller modules are required offering the same protection as through-hole components.

Other key mechanical characteristics include an approximate weight of 2.5 grams and lead-free silver plating.  It has a solder reflow temperature of 260-270 degrees C; 12mm tape and reel per EIA Standard 481; and a flammability rating of UL 94V-0.  The SM3KWxxA should be placed near a connector to provide the best protection against transients.

Other key mechanical characteristics of the SM5KWxxA series include an approximate weight of 2.5 grams and lead-free silver plating.  It features a solder reflow temperature of 260-270 degrees C and flammability rating of UL 94V-0.  The SM5KWxxA should be placed near a connector to provide the best protection against transients.

"Electronic systems across all applications have several circuits and interfaces that are vulnerable to the effects of ESD, EFT and other induced surges," said VP Pai, Group Vice President of ProTek Devices.  "Automotive systems, wireless base stations and countless industrial applications, to name just a few, are highly susceptible to surges.  They must be protected against damaging effects of high voltage spikes.  ProTek Devices’ new SM3KWxxA and the SM5KWxxA series of TVS modules provide a low footprint and low cost ideal for such applications to protect against voltage surges."
