Advantages
The advantages of using a SIDACtor over other surge suppression devices is that the
SIDACtor offers absolute surge protection regardless of the surge current available
and the rate of applied voltage (dV/dt). Unlike other devices, the SIDACtor:
Can not be damaged by voltage
Eliminates hysteresis and heat dissipation typically found with a clamping
device
Eliminates voltage overshoot caused by fast rising transients
Is non-degenerative
Will not fatigue
Has negligible capacitance making it ideal for high speed transmission
equipment
Applications
When protecting telecommunication circuits, the SIDACtor is connected across Tip
and Ring for metallic protection and across Tip, Ring, and ground for longitudinal
protection. SIDACtors are typically placed behind some type of current limiting device
such as a slow blow fuse. Common applications are:
Central office line cards
T-1/E-1, ISDN, and xDSL transmission equipment
Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) such as phones, modems, and caller ID
adjunct boxes
PBX
