CHICAGO, May 25, 2011 – Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ/NGS:LFUS) today announced the addition of the SP1006 Series to its expanding TVS Diode Arrays (SPATM Family) of ESD and surge protection devices.

The SP1006 Series TVS Diode Array is offered in the 0201 form factor (µDFN-2) and provides best-in-class ESD protection for electronic devices where board space is at a premium. The SP1006 Series is particularly suitable for miniature portable electronics applications such as mobile phones, smart phones, MP3/PMP players, portable navigation devices, digital cameras, PDAs, portable medical devices, and similar handheld equipment.

The new SP1006 series is RoHS compliant and complies with the following standards:

  • ESD, IEC61000-4-2, ±30kV (contact), ±30kV (air)
  • EFT, IEC61000-4-5, 40A (5/50ns)
  • Lightning, IEC61000-4-5, 5A (8/20μs)

Along with superior ESD protection (±30kV, contact) and surge capability (5A, 8/20μs), the SP1006 TVS diode array offers minimal capacitive loading with best-in-class clamping performance due to its low dynamic resistance of only 0.9Ω. In addition, the extremely low leakage of <0.5μA (MAX) at 5V is designed to maximize circuit reliability and minimize battery drain in portable devices.
