What is the difference between ROHS and REACHR certification?
Sep 09 , 2025
Some customers require Rohs and Reach certification for surge protection devices, let’s talk about ROHS and REACH this time.Both ROHS and REACH are important EU environmental regulations, but their scope of application, control objectives, and specific requirements differ significantly. The core differences are as follows: 1. Full name and core purpose of the regulation ·ROHS:The full name is...

What are the differences in parameter requirements between UL and IEC standards for surge protection devices?
Sep 24 , 2025
The UL 1449 standard for surge protective devices (SPDs) in North America differs significantly from the internationally accepted IEC 61643-11 standard in terms of parameter requirements and testing concepts. This profoundly reflects the different emphases on electrical safety and surge protection in different regions. These differences are primarily reflected in core test waveforms, key performan...

What is the difference in failure mode between voltage-limiting SPDs and switching SPDs?
Sep 30 , 2025
Failure modes of voltage-limiting SPDs (varistors) As a core component of voltage-limiting SPDs, varistor (MOV) failure modes primarily stem from the material's physical properties and electrical stress. The primary failure mode is short-circuit failure and its derivative thermal breakdown. When subjected to surge currents exceeding their tolerance (a single, large energy event or multiple, cumula...
