Littelfuse Making Sense of Surge Protection
Littelfuse helps designers make sense of surge protection by offering various products for protection against transient threats, including lightning, switching (EFT), and electrostatic discharge (ESD). Littelfuse surge protection devices include gas-discharge tubes, metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), TVS diodes, and SIDACtor® protection thyristors. These product types differ in their protection mechanism, response time, robustness, and other factors.
