Bourns Launches LED Shunt Protectors for LED Lighting Applications

Manufacturer of automotive sensors and electronic components, Bourns has rolled out new open LED shunt protection systems for use in LED lighting applications. The Bourns LSP-Series ensures reliability of the LED lighting applications engineered in strings.

The addition of a LED shunt protection device to an LED design enables the lights in a string to stay lighted by shunting the current over the LED. The LSP-Series open LED shunt protectors are suitable for various LED lighting applications such as backlighting systems, lighting fixtures and light bulbs.

The LSP-Series include four models, namely the LSP1800BJR-S, LSP1300BJR-S, LSP0900BJR-S and LSP0600BJR-S. Consumers can minimize the protection expenditures by choosing the LSP1800BJR-S, LSP1300BJR-S or LSP0900BJR-S models. Consumers can also increase the protection level by utilizing a single device per LED and by choosing the LSP0600BJR-S. The LSP1800BJR-S, LSP1300BJR-S and LSP0900BJR-S can isolate groups of four, three or two LEDs, respectively.
