Littelfuse SPA sample kits only available at Mouser
Mansfield, Tex. — Mouser Electronics, Inc. is the exclusive distributor of Littelfuse’s Silicon Protection Array (SPA) sample kits.
Littlefuse SPAs are specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transients (EFTs), and lightning induced transients. The Littelfuse SPA devices offer the lowest dynamic resistance during an ESD or any electrical over stress (EOS) event, which reduces clamping voltage levels far below that of competing technologies such as MLV, MOV, and polymer, according to the companies.
The SPA portfolio offers a wide range of devices to suit the majority of applications available in the market today such as: USB 2.0/3.0, HDMI 1.3/1.4, DVI, 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet, eSATA, 1394a/b, LVDS, audio, analog video, keypads/pushbuttons, and LCD/camera display interfaces.
The SPA Sample Kits include ten samples each of the 39 SPA devices together with a product selection guide and protection samples of 16 different common applications.
Andy Kerr, Mouser vice president of passives & circuit protection, said the new SPA devices will solve numerous issues presented by today’s ICs that have contact discharge levels down to +/-0.5 kV.
