Smaller suppressor provides big protection
Transtector Systems has expanded its I2R Series of suppressors with the addition of the new silicon "Storm" model, designed for confined space and DIN mount applications
The I2R Series family of products now includes the original compact, flexible, plug-in module approach with over 200 configurations in silicon or MOV, the compact MOV lines (LA, SA, LSA), and the ICP DIN mount for individual equipment protection. "The initial success of our robust and modular, yet compact footprint DIN-mount suppressor had many customers asking us just how much smaller we could go", said Jim Walker, Director of Engineering Transtector Systems.

Lightning protectors have gigabit Ethernet covered
The ALPU Series of lightning protectors now includes units that are suitable for protecting gigabit Ethernet systems using fast-acting silicon avalanche suppression diodes
"The difficult task is properly assembling silicon diodes in a manner that maintains performance".
The I2R Storm addresses the size and functionality issues with an "ultracompact" unit that delivers silicon suppression's superior performance characteristics in a 35mm DIN mount package, yet measures less than 1.8cm wide.
The unit is also only slightly over 6cm tall and 9cm deep.
The I2R Storm devices will protect at 330 and 500V on 120 and 240V AC systems, respectively.
They carry surge current ratings in excess of 5kA and can be configured in normal and common mode for single, split and three-phase systems.
Featuring isolated contacts in European-style terminal plug for remote indication in the event of failure or fault, Storm suppressors are designed to meet IEC Class II and IEEE C2 specifications.
