PTVS15-058C-TH

Gas Discharge Tube for RS-485 Ports

Bourns Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) for RS-485 Ports is designed to meet industry standards on RS-485 port interfaces and to provide circuit protection in noisy and harsh electrical environments. For exposed lines that may see large and fast surges and where failure is not acceptable, a three-stage Bourns protection system is recommended.

Bourns PTVS High Current Power TVS Diodes are high current bidirectional TVS diodes designed for use in AC line protection and high power DC bus clamping applications. These devices offer bidirectional port protection from 58V to 470V, and RoHS and UL compliancy, while also meeting IEC 61000-4-5 8/20μs current surge requirements. The use of silicon technology in the Power TVS products generally offers lower clamping voltage under surge than competing MOV technology. Bourns High Current Power TVS Diodes are provided in through-hole packages and meet industry standard requirements such as RoHS and Pb Free solder reflow profiles.

TVS Diodes

Bourns Surface-Mount TVS Diodes are low capacitance devices that provide ESD, EFT, and surge protection for external ports of electronic devices such as cell phones, handheld electronics, and other portable electronic devices. Bourns TVS Diodes include smaller chip diodes that have the capability to provide a silicon diode with minimal packaging overhead. The chip diodes 0603, 1005, 1408, and 2010 are leadless, allowing for maximum space on PCB layouts. All Bourns diodes are RoHS compliant and meet many worldwide industry and government regulations on lead-free components. TVS package diode design kits are also available from Bourns.

PTVS High Current Power TVS Diodes

Bourns Power Transient Voltage Suppressor (PTVS) Products are high current bidirectional TVS diodes designed for use in AC line protection and high-power DC bus clamping applications. These devices offer bidirectional port protection from 58V to 470V. The diodes are RoHS compliant, UL listed, and meet IEC 61000-4-5 8/20μs current surge requirements. The use of silicon technology in these Bourns power TVS products offers lower clamping voltage under surge compared to MOV technology. The devices are provided in through-hole and SMD packages and meet lead-free solder reflow profiles. The SMD package provides a 20% reduction in peak clamping voltage compared to the equivalent through-hole device because of its lower lead inductance.
