Transient ProtectionDiode ConnectorsAmphenolAerospace• Clamping voltage as low as 11.9 volts• Low capacitance – suitable for high frequencyapplications• Unipolar or bipolar – using existing proven diodetechnology• Protection for 5.8 to 60 VDC circuits• No additional circuits required• Low impedance – high frequency response• Increased reliability• Nanosecond response time• Elimination of costly external suppressionassemblies• Screening to applicable requirements ofMIL-S-19500TX/TXV available• Keeps transients outside of the box• Minimizes fast transient voltage overshootThe Amphenol ® Diode Connector offers the versatility of astandard connector, with transient protection for sensitivecir cuits, such as TTL Lines.Transients in electrical circuits caused by a sudden release ofstored energy can originate within or outsideof the circuit and may be repeatable or random.Regardless of frequency or origin, transient caused failuresgenerated by load switching, lightning, electrostatic discharge(ESD) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) can destroy unprotectedIC components.Compatible with present filter connector assembly procedures,diodes can stand alone or can be combined in series with fil ters.Internal housing of the diode offers weight and space sav ingsover other protection methods available today, and eliminatescostly and bulky exterior suppression mechanisms inappropriate situations. Diodes are presently available in contactsizes 22 and 20.Transient protection can be provided in receptacle, plugor adapter configurations.
