Littelfuse 14-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode Array 30V Reverse Stand-off Voltage 1A Test Current, 16-Pin PDIP SP720APP

Littelfuse SP720APP is a 14-element bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode array designed for comprehensive electrostatic discharge (ESD) and over-voltage protection in electronic circuits. Packaged in a 16-pin PDIP through-hole form factor, it provides robust protection for up to 14 external signal or bus lines, making it an excellent choice for safeguarding sensitive input circuitry in industrial, automotive, and electronic equipment.

The device incorporates SCR/diode bipolar structures that trigger quickly at a threshold voltage defined by one +VBE diode above the positive supply (V+) or one -VBE diode below the negative supply (V-). This unique design ensures rapid clamping during transient voltage spikes, thereby protecting downstream components effectively. The SP720APP array supports a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 30 volts and can handle test currents of 1 ampere as well as peak pulse currents up to 2 amperes, facilitating protection against high-energy transient events.

Operating across a temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, the component is suitable for extreme environments, maintaining performance stability. The low maximum reverse leakage current of 20 nanoamperes contributes to energy efficiency and circuit reliability. These characteristics make the SP720APP TVS diode array suitable for applications in various industrial, laboratory, automotive, and electronic manufacturing scenarios where transient voltage suppression is critical.

Contains 14 elements for multi-line protection in sensitive circuits. Bi-directional diode configuration for effective transient voltage suppression. 16-pin PDIP package ensures stable through-hole mounting and mechanical strength.

Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C for versatile use. Supports 1A test current and 2A peak pulse current for robust surge protection. Maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 30V ensures protection within system limits.

Low maximum reverse leakage current of 20nA contributes to energy-efficient design. Manufactured in the Philippines under strict quality controls.

This SP720APP TVS diode array is an essential protective component in electronic design, ideal for reducing damage caused by voltage surges and electrostatic discharge in a wide range of environments including industrial control systems, automotive electronics, and consumer devices.
