BSPD300208Y2P

Mixed technology, also known as hybrid technology, is an integration of different growth technologies into a single device. This versatile technology is very beneficial as it gives designers the flexibility of using various technologies to create a product. To support this technology, television safety suppressor (TVS) devices, like the BSPD300208Y2P, has been developed to provide superior electrical protection features.

The BSPD300208Y2P, provides a combination of surface-mount unidirectional and bidirectional (bi-directional) devices offering outstanding clamping and protection features. It has a high current capability of 2,500-amp peak pulse current (8/20 µs) offering added protection capabilities and helps prevent premature failure caused by over current and over-voltage transients. As well, its combination of unidirectional and bi-directional devices offers greater flexibility while system-level designs.

The application field of the BSPD300208Y2P includes various consumer electronics, entertainment systems, automotive systems, medical equipment, industrial equipment and bus protection. Its wide application range is due to its low junction capacitance, fast response time, simple mounting, and reliable protection. The BSPD300208Y2P device meets UL138V, UL1449, and VDE standards for surge immunity and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. As well, being lead-free and RoHS compliant, its design is not only safer but also more environmentally friendly.

The BSPD300208Y2P uses anodes on each end of the device to toggle the current flow between two directions and gives protection against over-current. When a positive spike voltage occurs, the main current flows from anode A in the bottom part of the device to Cathode B in the top part of the device. When a negative spike voltage occurs the main current immediately flows from anode C to cathode D in the bottom part of the device. The device also benefits from its low dynamic resistance and provides good clamping during all applications. That is, when an over-voltage transient occurs, the device’s high peak current is triggered and immediately provides a low resistance path for current to transfer and prevent negatively affecting the device or system.

The BSPD300208Y2P is designed to withstand repetitive, high levels of fast moving current, which is why it has become such an attractive device for designers. Its quick response time, ease of mounting, excellent protection, and reliable performance makes it the best option for many product applications. By combining different technologies, the BSPD300208Y2P can provide the most efficient results and protect any connected product from dangerous transients.
