This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Lighting Protection category on DigiKey.com
Lighting protection devices that use LED shunt or surge protection technology specifically designed to protect LED and other lighting circuits in situations where there may be excessive current, voltages or reverse connections. They are selected by the operating voltage range, clamping voltage and the mounting type which includes chassis mount, free hanging, holder, screw, or surface mount.
SelectionCharacteristics
Voltage - Clamping: Characterizes the maximum value to which a protection device limits an applied voltage. Measured under manufacturer-defined test conditions.
Voltage: Typically this indicates the voltage level at which breakdown begins to occur.
Applications: Application is the type of equipment or environment the device will be used in, they are tested and typically rated by a third party to ensure certain minimum standards for the application they are intended for.
Package / Case: Indicates the type of protective case used on an electronic component to allow easy handling, installation, and protection. This selection was determined to be the closest industry standard applicable to the suppliers device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
Supplier Device Package: This is what the manufacturer calls the package of this device. They are manufacturer specific. It is typically best to use the actual dimensions from the datasheets rather than to go by this terminology when designing your circuit.
