TVS Design Guide

From Carlisle Interconnect Technologies

Lightning strikes aircraft, helicopters, UAVs and ships with a higher frequency than most people would believe. Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) devices can guard against the destructive energy spikes generated by lightning or an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP). This TVS Design Guide will explain many of the considerations needed to select the proper device to prevent EMP issues.

Electrical Connectors
Electrical connectors are devices that join electrical circuits together. Male connectors plug into receptacles, jacks, and outlets. Female connectors contain sockets to receive other devices.
Coaxial Connectors
Coaxial connectors are composed of an insulated central conducting wire wrapped in another cylindrical conductor (the shield). The cable is usually wrapped in another insulating layer and an outer protective layer. Coaxial cables and connectors have the capacity to carry vast quantities of information. They are typically used in high-speed data and CATV applications.
