What is a Surge Suppression IC?
Surge suppression IC is used to protect the load from the transient voltages or currents that occur due to voltage spikes from the power supply. This IC blocks high currents and absorbs excessive voltage. The surge suppressors limit the surge to acceptable levels that electronic equipment can handle. It diverts the excess voltage and current from transient or surge into a grounding wire and prevents it from flowing through the electrical and electronic equipment while at the same time allowing the normal voltage to continue along its path. Surge suppressors are ideal for telephone lines, computers, medical, security systems, communication, and electrical equipment, etc.
Two main functions of the Surge Suppressor ICs
- Provides low impedance path for conducting a lot of current to eliminate the extra voltage
- Absorbs and diverts the extra current to ground for protecting the effects of transient or surge
Surge Suppressors from the leading manufacturers are listed on everything PE. You can use the filters on the left side to narrow down the list of products based on your requirements - Type, Voltage Rating, Current Rating and other parameters. Our parametric search tool will scan multiple manufacturer websites to identify Surge Suppressors that meet your requirement. You can then download datasheets, get pricing and request quotations via everything PE. Your inquiry will be routed to the manufacturer or their representative who will give you more information on the product.
