The PLED5HT device is ideal for use in high reliability lighting applications such as traffic lighting, advertising lighting, and runway lighting.

• Reverse Battery/Power Protection
• Open LED bypass up to 700 mA
• ESD, IEC 61000-4-2, ±8kV contact, ±15 kV air
• Resets after power cycle
• Fast switching
• Low Turn-On (Trigger Voltage)
• SOT-89 package

The PLED5HT protector provides three methods for increasing the reliability of LED lighting:

• LED failure protection: If one of the LEDs in an array fails open, the device provides a substitute electronic path so that the array continues to function
• ESD Protection: It protects against ESD events up to ±8 kV for contact discharges and ±15 kV for air discharges per the IEC 61000-4-2 electrostatic immunity standard.
• Reverse battery and power protection: It provices protection in the case of accidental reverse battery or power connection.
