Application Note

Description

The improvement of Ethernet technology has the characteristics of high efficiency and low cost. Due to the high transmission rate, Ethernet has higher requirements for circuit protection design. It is more likely to be (directly or indirectly) damaged by lightning outside, so it is necessary to strengthen the surge lightning protection design of its interface. It can be divided into outdoor and indoor installation. Generally, the equipment installed indoors will not suffer from direct lightning strike, but the damage to the equipment caused by overvoltage intrusion should be considered. Outdoor equipment must be protected from direct lightning strike to prevent lightning strike voltage from invading the front-end equipment along the line, therefore, appropriate overvoltage protectors should be installed on each line in front of the equipment.

Product Description

SFI has developed the SHN series of multi-functional overvoltage protectors dedicated to the Netcom cloud. SHN itself has a large capacitance, which can provide better filtering effect for IEEE820.3af requirements. At the same time, SHN provides "ultra-small size SMD chip" packaging, and has "excellent high temperature characteristics" and "passed 10*700us test standard", Compared with the current "disadvantages" of "conduction freewheeling" and "poor packaging air leakage" when using GDT in the market, SHN is the best choice for overvoltage components applied in the network cloud.
