Littelfuse, Inc., based in Rosemont, IL, has announced the release of the Pxxx0S3H SIDACtor Protection Thyristor Series—the industry’s first 2 kA surge protection component in a DO-214AB (SMC) package. This compact and robust solution is designed for space-constrained, high-performance energy and power designs.

The Pxxx0S3H Series offers surge immunity and compact protection for AC and DC power lines in demanding environments such as industrial automation, automotive charging systems, solar power systems, UPS/AC distribution, and ICT infrastructure.

Features & Benefits:

  • High Surge Protection: Rated for 2 kA (8/20 µs) surge capability in a compact DO-214AB (SMC) package
  • Compact Design: Footprint measures just 6.22 mm × 7.11 mm × 2.62 mm
  • Durability: Withstands repeated high-energy surges without degradation, unlike traditional MOV or GDT components
  • Regulatory Compliance: Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity standards
  • Versatile Integration: Can be used standalone or in combination with MOVs for hybrid protection

Ideal for power systems across industrial, automotive, solar, ICT, and energy storage markets. Suited for applications requiring long-lasting, compact, and standards-compliant transient voltage suppression.

Pxxx0S3H devices are available in tape-and-reel quantities of 3,000. Samples and ordering can be arranged through authorized Littelfuse distributors.
