INTRINSICALLY SAFE POWER PROTECTION MODULE A.PPEX
The A.PPEX module is an intrinsically safe barrier for power lines in certified intrinsically safe electrical equipment or associated apparatus. It can be used where high power and low loss must meet intrinsic safety. The A.PPEX module has an over-current, and an over-voltage protection. There are several variants of the unit, which allows the developer to select the appropriate current limit between 0.7 to 3.3 A and the voltage limit between 5.7 and 12.6 V. The module is produced in a 28 × 20 × 5 mm dual line SMD package.
