Littelfuse have a long and successful history of providing industry leading circuit protection devices, not only for primary and secondary protection of power supplies but also for the sensitive I/O’s found on many modern devices including USB ports which can be susceptible to damage caused by a range of common electrical hazards. These I/O ports can typically be exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightening surges, induced power surges, electrical fast transients (EFT), miswiring or damage to cable insulation or incorrect connections by the end user. With such a wide range of possible hazards that can damage the I/O ports and lead to failure of equipment, it’s a huge challenge for today’s product developer as they seek to ensure all of these possible hazards are taken into account during the design phase to make the end device is as robust as possible against these and any other unforeseen events.
