Surge Suppressor protects DeviceNet® systems.

Press Release Summary:



Delivering protection from transient overvoltages, DN series 24 Vdc surge suppressors use silicon avalanche suppressor diode technology for delivery of 1,000 A peak surge current protection on 8/203s combination wave or 85 A peak on 10/10003s long wave surge current. Model DN-24T protects main network trunk line, and DN-24P protects peripheral node devices branched off of main trunk line. Molded Noryl enclosure has UL flame rating of 94-V0.

Transtector Offers Reliable Silicon Surge Protection for DeviceNet® Systems



Transtector Systems, a manufacturer of high performance surge protection, is proud to announce its latest design for protection of DeviceNet® systems from transient overvoltages. The DN series is available in two models - the DN-24T is designed to protect the main network trunk line, while the DN-24P protects peripheral node devices that are branched off of the main trunk line.

These 24V DC surge suppressors use Transtector's patented silicon avalanche suppressor diode (SASD) technology for delivery of 1000A peak surge current protection on the 8/203s combination wave, or 85A peak on a 10/10003s long wave surge current. Voltage protection is 60Vp at 1000A (8/203s combination wave) or 60Vp at 85A (10/10003s long wave).

Housed inside a molded Noryl enclosure with a UL flame rating of 94-V0, DN-24 surge suppressors are provided with a wall mounting plate. The unit is compact, measuring 6.5 inches in height, by 3 inches in width and 2.7 inches in depth (16.5 cm x 7.62 cm x 6.86 cm). A ¼-20 lug is also provided on the front of each unit to connect the suppressor to system ground. The DN 24T utilizes the male DeviceNet® mini connector, while the DN 24P is installed in series utilizing male and female Euro/M12 DeviceNet® connections. Transtector's DN-24 series surge suppressors are available by directly contacting Transtector.
