The new IEC global safety standard was updated in December 2020, and the new standard has new overvoltage protection requirements. If you don’t comply, your products won’t get certified, and you’ll be blocked from taking them to market.
Therefore, meeting the requirements of IEC 62368-1 is critical for manufacturers of consumer electronics, audio visual equipment, and some telecom devices. To make the process as easy as possible, Littelfuse and Arrow Electronics have carved out a path to compliance for the new IEC 62368-1 global safety standard with a variety of Littelfuse solutions.
For example, with universal power supplies you need to protect the power stage from overcurrent events, and you also need to protect the power supply from voltage transients. Watch this video to learn more about the IEC 62368-1 safety standard and learn about Littelfuse solutions that can get you to compliance.
