Electronic parts called TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes from Littelfuse Inc.'s SP1002 and SPA® series are made to shield delicate electronics from voltage surges and transients.
For the purpose of shielding delicate electronic equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other voltage transients, the SP1002 series is a low-capacitance TVS diode. It is perfect for use in applications that call for quick response times and low power consumption since it has low clamping voltage and low leakage current.
On the other hand, the SPA® series TVS diodes are made to safeguard delicate electronics from voltage spikes brought on by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge, and other transient occurrences. As a result of their high surge current capabilities, low clamping voltage, and low leakage current, they can be used in a variety of industrial, telecommunications, and automotive electronics applications.
The SPA® series TVS diodes and the SP1002 TVS diodes both provide outstanding protection against voltage surges and transients, extending the life and dependability of electronic equipment.
