PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
RailClamps are surge rated diode arrays designed to
protect high speed data interfaces. The SRDA70-4 has
been specifically designed to protect sensitive compo-
nents which are connected to data and transmission
lines from over-voltages caused by electrostatic dis-
charge
(ESD),
electrical fast transients
(EFT),
and
lightning.
The unique design of the SRDA70-4 integrates eight
surge rated, low capacitance steering diodes in a low
profile SO-8 package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient to either the
positive side of the power supply line or to ground. The
SRDA70-4 may be used as a stand alone device or in
conjunction with TVS diodes for enhanced protection.
The low capacitance array configuration allows the user
to protect four high speed data or I/O lines. The low
inductance construction minimizes voltage overshoot
during high current surges.
