R PolySwitch TS600 Overcurrent Protection Devices New surface-mount products for overcurrent protection Raychem introduces the PolySwitch TS600 series to protect sensitive telecommunications equipment from field hazards caused by lightning, power contact, and power induction surges. These devices are offered as a surface-mount alternative to the radial-leaded TR600 series. Both products are designed specifically for telecommunications and computer telephony applications, including: Modems Fax machines Phones Analog and digital linecards Other customer premise and network equipment requiring overcurrent protection Features Resettable overcurrent protection Surface-mount package Fast trip time Higher holding currents than the TR600 series Resistance binned (optional) UL Recognized Benefits Reduces equipment warranty and service costs Easy installation; compatible with auto pickand-place equipment Fast, reliable operation Compatible with high-output-current chip sets Improved line balance for network applications Assists end-equipment in meeting regulatory requirements
Fundamentals of PolySwitch overcurrent protection devices The problem of overcurrents An overcurrent is an abnormally high current that has the potential to damage sensitive telecommunication circuits. Overcurrent conditions may be caused by lightning, power cross, or power induction surges during normal system operation. Customer premise and network equipment that are not designed to withstand these surges may be permanently damaged, affecting proper system operation and personnel safety. Coordinated, resettable circuit protection Traditional methods of protecting telecommunications equipment employ metal-oxide varistor (MOV) technology for overvoltage protection and fuse/fusing resistors for overcurrent protection. To minimize system downtime and reduce equipment operating costs, SiBar and PolySwitch devices provide a coordinated, resettable alternative to protect today s sensitive electronic circuits from telecommunication hazards. SiBar devices crowbar from a high to low impedance state in response to an overvoltage condition. For power cross and power induction faults, PolySwitch devices use nonlinear polymeric PTC (positive temperature coefficient) technology to rapidly switch from a low to high impedance state in response to an overcurrent surge. Once the source of the fault condition is removed, properly selected PolySwitch and SiBar devices reset to allow system operations to continue. PolySwitch TS600 devices provide a surface-mount complement to the radial-leaded TR600 product family. These resettable overcurrent protection devices assist equipment designers in meeting global telecommunications protection standards while lowering equipment service and warranty costs. Note: For more information on SiBar thyristor surge protection devices for overvoltage protection and PolySwitch devices for overcurrent protection, contact your local Raychem representative or visit our Web site at www.raychem.com/go/circuitprotection. Typical applications Problem/solution Industry standards and customer specifications require telecommunication equipment designers to protect against the harmful effects of power cross, power induction, and lightning surges. These hazards can travel through the network and local loop, resulting in equipment damage and service loss. A PolySwitch overcurrent protection device, properly coordinated with a SiBar thyristor surge protector, will protect against these faults, minimizing equipment damage and improving customer satisfaction. For installations that require compatibility with automatic pick-and-place equipment, and for reflow assembly processes, the TS600 series incorporates the protection benefits of the TR600 series in a surface-mount package.
