Description

The µClamp®3603T is a high-surge transient voltage suppressor (TVS) optimized for protection of sensitive digital sensors used in proximity switches and industrial control applications. The µClamp3603T protects the components from over-voltages caused by Electro-Static Discharge (ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and Tertiary Lightning.

The µClamp3603T features a working voltage of 36 volts with a minimum breakdown voltage of 37 volts. They are rated to handle a continuous forward current of up to 200mA with a low forward voltage drop of less than 1 volt (IF = 200mA). They are designed with high surge capability (2 Amps at tp=1.2/50us) and a low clamping voltage of <65V.

The µClamp3603T is in a 6-pin SLP1710N6T package. It measures 1.7 x 1.0 x 0.4mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.55mm and are finished with lead-free NiPdAu. Each device will protect three lines operating at 36 volts. The small size and unique features of the µClamp3603T make it ideal for protection of DC high-side and low-side 3 wire proximity switches in industrial and automotive applications.

The µClamp3603T is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for Automotive use.
