LTKAK3 Series
Description
The LTKAK3 series offers superior clamping characteristics
over standard S.A.D. technologies by virtue of the Littelfuse
Foldbak™ technology, which provides a clamping voltage
lower than the avalanche voltage (but above the rated
working voltage). Therefore, any voltage rise due to
increased current conduction is contained to a minimum,
providing the best possible protection level. This LTKAK3
series can be combined in series or parallel solutions to
offer various clamping levels and surge withstand options.
The LTKAK3 SMT package provides a more compact
PCB layout than typical through-holeTO-218 AKTVS
components.
