Devices help protect sensitive equipment from damage resulting from overvoltage events and operate as shunt devices in response to a surge that exceeds the breakover voltage.

The latest additions to the Raychem SiBar thyristor series are bidirectional transient voltage surge suppressors include an expanded range of available voltages, and lower capacitance to help protect high-speed ADSL/VDSL modems, Ethernet and power-over-Ethernet and other high-datarate communications equipment from damage from overvoltage events Compliant with major standards such as GR-1089 Core, ITU K.20/K.21, IEC61000-4-5, FCC part 68, and UL60950, the new SiBar thyristors provide fast, bidirectional protection in industry standard surge current families of 50, 80 and 100A (10/1000us)
