Surge Protection

PCB Socket is the series of socket bases that allow for integration of Mersen’s pluggable IEC surge protection cartridges directly on printed circuit boards. Those surge cartridges will be easily replaceable upon reaching their end of life. SB PCB is an optimal solution for the industry of power electronics: inverters, converters, control panels for railway, PV combiner boxes, machines, OEM equipment, etc. Key benefits are cost efficiency, space efficiency, no wiring and optimal voltage protection of sensitive electronics. Integration of surge protection on PCBs is often planned for at an early stage of development of the system. The surge sockets will be firmly fixed to the PCB during the wave soldering process. They’ll host the entire range of IEC surge protection cartridges AC & DC, T2 & T1.

Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series - 8YPV is the PHOTOVOLTAIC range of Type 2/Class II devices intended for discharging induced voltage surges (8/20 μs), in accordance with IEC/EN 61643-31 standards. Ideal solution for protecting 6 MPPT, saving space and optimizing cost. DIN rail plug-in format.

Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series - AC-Reinforced is the series of type 2 /class II devices intended for discharging induced voltage surges (8/20 μs), in accordance with IEC/EN 61643-11. Suitable for the AC side protection of inverters or wind turbine generators with a nominal voltage of 690 and 800 V AC. The reinforced 3+1 variant ensures safe operation where high withstand voltage peaks are required or where DC offsets are induced in AC side.

Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series - YPV is the PHOTOVOLTAIC range of Type 2/Class II devices intended for discharging induced voltage surges (8/20 μs), in accordance with IEC/EN 61643-31 standards. DIN rail plug-in format.

Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series - 5YPV is the PHOTOVOLTAIC range of combined Type 1+2/Class I+II devices intended for discharging lightning currents (10/350 μs) and protecting against induced voltage surges (8/20 μs), in accordance with IEC/EN 61643-31 standards. Ideal solution for protecting 2 or 3 MPPT, saving space and optimizing cost. DIN rail plug-in format.
