Protection thyristor shrinks by half

The Teccor Q2L series Sidactor device is billed as the world's smallest protection thyristor, designed for dense board telecomms applications and customer premises equipment.

Littelfuse describes its new Teccor Q2L series Sidactor device as the world's smallest protection thyristor, designed for dense board telecomms applications and CPE (customer premises equipment).

With size constraints continually challenging our industry, the new Q2L series is the solution that meets market demand.

Littelfuse has incorporated its patented Sidactor technology into a new low profile chip scale package for maximum footprint and height reduction.

The Q2L series offers a 54% reduction in PCB real estate requirements and a 51% reduction in height profile (1.0 mm height on PCB).

Compared with DO-214AA solutions, no other circuit protection device offers this functionality in such a small package size.

The reduction in size makes the Q2L series ideal for high board density applications.

This new Q2L Sidactor provides exceptional bidirectional transient voltage protection and offers a wide range of Ipp ratings including 75A for the 5x310/10x700us event (ITU/YDT waveform), 80A for 10x1000us event (GR 1089 waveform) and 100A for 10x560us event (TIA-968).

Although the package size of the Q2L series has been significantly reduced from the DO-214AA package of the previous generation of Sidactor devices, circuit designers can still expect the same industry leading performance that they have come to rely on from all Sidactor devices.

When designing their telecommunications circuit, designers need to look no further.

The Q2L series delivers optimal transient voltage protection in the smallest package available.
