The Pxxx0S3N Series DO-214AB protection thyristors are components designed to protect equipment located in hostile environments from overvoltage transients. The Pxxx0S3N Series protect exposed interfaces in industrial and ICT applications, such as RS-485 data interfaces, AC or DC power supplies. These components’ switching voltage VS are much lower than alternative Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT), and on-state voltage VT are much lower than alternative GDTs, Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) and TVS Diodes. This Pxxx0S3N series are rated 3000A 8/20 μs, enabling equipment compliance with regulatory and customer surge requirements.
