CR0640SB - Littelfuse

CR0640SB The CR range of protectors are based on the proven technology of the T10 thyristor product

The CR range of protectors are based on the proven technology of the T10 thyristor product. Designed for transient voltage protection of telecommunications equipment, it provides higher power handling than a conventional avalanche diode (TVS) and when compared to a GDT offers lower voltage clamping levels and infinite surge life. Packaged in a transfer molde.

Features

effect the protected system. When a transient occurs, the voltage across the CRXXXX will increase until the breakdown voltage (Vbr) is reached. At this point the device will operate in a similar way to a T.V.S. device and is in an avalanche mode. The voltage of the transient will now be limited and will only increase by a few volts as the device diverts more current. As this transient current rises, a level of current through the device is reached (Ibo) which causes the device to switch to a fully conductive state such that the voltage across the device is now only a few volts (Vt). The volta.
