Need a TVS Diodes Supplier?...

As the avionics industry changes the requirements on aircraft design from metal to composite fuselage material, new regulations for aircraft systems and subsystems will require the systems to be capable of withstanding specific transient energy pulses. In addition, a primary supplier, Microsemi, is having major problems supplying the TVS (transient voltage suppressors) Diodes required in making these design changes to meet regulations.

Schuster Electronics has a solution for you. We currently have multiple suppliers for TVS Diodes: Central Semiconductor, World Products, and Protek Devices.

Example: part numbers available through Protek Devices are as follows:

  • 704-15K36
  • 60KS200C
  • 90KS200C
  • PHP Series
  • PIP Series
  • DLZ Series
  • also the Microsemi 15KP and 30KP Series are the same as Protek's 15KPA and 30KPA Series.

Stop your search for a TVS Diode's supplier and contact a Schuster Electronics Sales Representative today.

Torex

Obsolete Voltage Regulator Options...

Torex is obsoleting their ST Micro Series of voltage regulators, LD2985AMxxR. However, Torex does offer a cross for this series, the XC6204 / XC6205 Series. The XC6204 & XC6205 Series are highly precise, low noise, positive voltage LDO regulators manufactured using CMOS processes. They achieve high ripple rejection and low dropout and consists of a standard voltage source, an error amplifier, a current limiter, a phase compensation circuit and a driver transistor. Output voltage is selectable in 50mV increments and are compatible with low ESR ceramic capacitors which give added output stability. This stability can be maintained even during load fluctuations due to the excellent transient response of these series. The current limiter's foldback circuit also operates as a short protect for the output current limiter and the output pin. The CE function enables the output to be turned off, resulting in greatly reduced power consumption.
