MKP1V240G

Overview

The Littelfuse MKP1V240G is a SIDACtor protection thyristor designed for robust overvoltage protection in high-exposure environments. It features an axial lead package (Case 59) and operates within a breakover voltage range of 220 V to 250 V, with a nominal trigger voltage of 240 V. The device supports a peak current of 0.9 A and is engineered to help end-products meet IEC 62368-1 overvoltage requirements. It is available in bulk or tape & reel configurations.

Feature Summary

• Provides robust overvoltage protection suitable for high-exposure environments
• Engineered to assist compliance with IEC 62368-1 safety standards
• Utilizes an axial lead package for straightforward circuit integration

Applications

• Equipment requiring IEC 62368-1 overvoltage compliance
• High-exposure electronic environments needing surge protection
• Circuit protection for sensitive components against voltage spikes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when sourcing this component. Suffixes such as 'G' indicate bulk packaging, while 'RLG' denotes tape and reel configuration. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required packaging quantity and handling specifications for your assembly process. Ensure the part number corresponds exactly to the Littelfuse datasheet specifications to avoid functional mismatches.

Selection Notes

Select the MKP1V240G when a breakover voltage near 240 V is required for transient suppression. Consider the 0.9 A peak current capability and axial form factor for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the need for IEC 62368-1 compliance in the target application. Compare alternative SIDACtor models if different voltage thresholds or current ratings are necessary for the specific circuit protection strategy.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SIDACtor family of protection thyristors from Littelfuse. These devices are distinct from standard diacs or varistors, offering precise triggering characteristics for overvoltage scenarios. The MKP1V series represents a line of axial-lead devices designed for reliable performance in industrial and consumer electronics applications requiring stringent safety certifications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for the MKP1V240G are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing designs by matching breakover voltage ranges and package dimensions before considering alternatives.
