ProTek Devices announced the availability of the new PTA03-3.3ULC device which is a high power, low capacitance TVS hybrid array Gigabit Ethernet Protector. It is designed to protect high-speed data line applications from the damaging effects of ESD, EFT, and secondary transient threats.

The PTA03-3.3ULC is a differential-mode port, fast transient protection array that features ultra-low capacitance using a hybrid TVS and Thyristor structure. It offers even lower capacitance than its predecessor at 1.5pF (differential mode) @ TJ=75°C.

The protection device can withstand 2kW peak pulse power per 1.2/50us – 8/20us Surge Pulse.

The PTA03-3.3ULC allows for additional peak current handling capability and features a very low clamping voltage.

It is available in an SOIC-8 package configuration and the PTA03-3.3ULC will be used for Gigabit Ethernet applications in telecom equipment. The PTA03-3.3ULC protects a single data-line pair and can meet Bellcore GR1089 Surge requirements, also meeting IEC 61000-4-2, IEC 61000-4-4, and IEC 61000-4-5 circuit protection requirements.

Other applications will include: T1/E1 Line Cards, ISDN U-Interfaces, ISDN S/T Interfaces, YUSL Interfaces, Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base T, and Set Top Box Interfaces. Samples are available on request.

Inelco Hunter’s in-depth engineering support ensures rapid implementation, speeding up the customer’s time-to-market. Inelco’s engineers will work with the SME engineers – for example to develop custom software. This added-value support is at the core of Inelco’s philosophy, and has been for the last 30 years, setting them apart from the “stock & ship” distributors.
