Littelfuse expands its high-reliability TVS diode portfolio with compact SPD4-1 surface-mount devices engineered for avionics, military, and other mission-critical systems requiring robust transient protection.
伊利诺伊州罗斯蒙特,2026年3月31日 -- Littelfuse公司 (NASDAQ: LFUS), an industrial technology manufacturing company shaping solutions for the safe and efficient transfer of electrical energy, today announced the release of the SM15KPA-HR/HRA 和 SM30KPA-HR/HRA High-Reliability Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) Diode Series. These new devices are engineered to provide superior lightning-induced transient protection for avionics, aviation electronics, defense systems, eVTOL platforms, and other mission-critical designs requiring high power, high reliability, and stringent screening.

Designed in a compact SPD4-1 surface-mount package, the new series delivers 15 kW or 30 kW peak pulse dissipation capability (10/1000 μs) while supporting full SMT pick-and-place assembly-an advantage over legacy high-power axial devices. Both families offer fast response time (<1 ps), excellent clamping behavior, low incremental surge resistance, and stable operation over a -55 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range.
The SM15KPA-HR/HRA and SM30KPA-HR/HRA Series are among the few high-power, high-reliability SMT TVS diodes specifically developed for avionics, offering protection up to RTCA/DO-160 Waveform 5A Level 5 lightning surge compliance. Screening includes 100% surge testing, high-temperature storage, temperature cycling, X-ray inspection, HTRB testing, and final electrical characterization in accordance with MIL-STD-750.
"These new high-power TVS diodes in a surface-mount package give avionics system designers the performance margins they need while supporting standard SMT automatic pick-and-place assembly," said Charlie Cai, Director of Product Management, Protection Business, SBU. "They provide superior protection for high-reliability applications without the size, weight, or assembly constraints of traditional solutions."

FAQs: Learn more about these high-reliability TVS diodes.
- What applications benefit most from these TVS diodes?
They are optimized for avionics, eVTOL, military, and other mission-critical platforms where lightning-induced transients and high-energy surge events must be tightly controlled. Their high-power density and robust screening make them ideal for safeguarding I/O lines, power buses, and sensitive navigation or communication electronics.
- How do the HR and HRA versions differ?
Both meet high-reliability 100% screening tests, but the HR versions include the enhanced MIL-STD-750 Group B tests that ensure additional test rigor, and extended reliability margins suited for the most demanding aerospace and defense qualification environments.
- Why choose a surface-mount (SMT) high-power TVS device?
The SPD4-1 SMT package supports automated assembly, reduces weight and board space, and eliminates the need for through-hole mounting traditionally associated with high-energy TVS components—an advantage in modern avionics hardware.
- Do these devices meet DO-160 lightning surge requirements?
Yes. The series provides protection up to DO-160 Waveform 5A Level 5, making them well-suited for aircraft electronics that must withstand severe transient environments.
- Are both unidirectional and bidirectional versions available?
Yes. All four series offer uni- and bidirectional polarity options, allowing engineers to match the device type to the signal or power rail being protected.
