ProTek rolls out new automotive circuit protection

AEC-qualified devices target critical automotive subsystems

By Heather Hamilton, contributing writer

ProTek Devices recently released two automotive circuit protection devices that are AEC-Q101–qualified, guarding against electrostatic discharge and electrical fast transients in automotive systems. The new devices — the PAM1IVN27 and PAM2IVN24 — are suited for CANBus, LINBus, FlexRay, and SENT in-vehicle sub-systems.

The protection devices adhere to IEC standards 61000-4-2 (ESD): air ±30 kV, contact ±30 kV; with 61000-4-4 (EFT); with 61000-4-4 (EFT) and 6100-4-5 (surge): 5A. They are also RoHS- and REACH-compliant. Key features include bi-directional configuration, a low clamping voltage, and an ultra-low leakage current of 0.8 nA at 27°C.

The PAM2IVN24 is available now in a molded JEDEC SOT-23 package and weighs 8 mg. The PAM1IVN27 comes in a molded JEDEC SOD-323 package and weighs 5 mg. Both include lead-free pure-tin plating, meet a solder reflow temperature of 260°C to 270°C, and have a flammability rating of UL 94V-0.

Delivered on 8-mm tape and reel (per EIA standard 481), the devices are available now in minimum quantities of 3,000 via ProTek’s global distributors, representatives, or direct.
