Shunt Protectors for Sensitive LED Lighting Applications
Shunt Protectors for Sensitive LED Lighting Applications Bourns is pleased to announce the release of LED Shunt Protector products for the LED lighting market. In LED lighting applications, solid-state lighting luminaires are commonly confi gured with long strings of multiple series LEDs driven from a relatively high voltage compliance, constant current power supply. In that confi guration an open LED will cause a complete LED string to go dark, rendering the application useless or markedly compromised. This can lead to warranty returns or maintenance calls.
