API Delevan recommends a footprint with a minimum pad size of 0.05 inches x 0.05 inches and a minimum spacing of 0.05 inches between pads. A solid ground plane and a low-impedance path to the surge protector are also recommended for optimal performance.
While the SPD73-103M is rated for 10kA, it can handle surge currents above the rating for short durations. However, exceeding the rating can reduce the device's lifespan. It's recommended to consult with API Delevan's application engineers to determine the best solution for specific surge current requirements.
The response time of the SPD73-103M is typically in the range of 1-2 nanoseconds, making it suitable for protecting sensitive equipment from fast-rising surge events.
Yes, the SPD73-103M can be used in series with other surge protection devices to provide additional protection or to meet specific application requirements. However, it's essential to ensure that the combined devices do not exceed the maximum voltage rating of the system.
The SPD73-103M is designed to operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Operating outside this range may affect the device's performance and lifespan.
