Transient Protection
Diode Connectors
• Clamping voltage as low as 11.9 volts
• Low capacitance – suitable for high frequency
applications
• Unipolar or bipolar – using existing proven diode
technology
• 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 suppression
assemblies
• Screening to applicable requirements of
MIL-S-19500TX/TXV available
• Keeps transients outside of the box
• Minimizes fast transient voltage overshoot
The Amphenol^® Diode Connector offers the versatility of a
standard connector, with transient protection for sensitive
circuits, such as TTL Lines.
Transients in electrical circuits caused by a sudden release of
stored energy can originate within or outside
of the circuit and may be repeatable or random.
Regardless of frequency or origin, transient caused failures
generated by load switching, lightning, electrostatic discharge
(ESD) and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) can destroy unpro-
tected IC components.
Compatible with present filter connector assembly procedures,
diodes can stand alone or can be combined in series with filters.
Internal housing of the diode offers weight and space savings
over other protection methods available today, and eliminates
costly and bulky exterior suppression mechanisms in
appropriate situations. Diodes are presently available in contact
sizes 22 and 20.
Transient protection can be provided in receptacle, plug
or adapter configurations. These connectors are intermateable
and intermountable with the following MIL-Specs:
