But what happens when the user plugs into a supply operating at the wrong voltage? Or what about when the supply is dirty and full of nasty voltage surges, as is often the case when power is supplied from an automobile power jack? Raychem Circuit Protection PolyZen™ devices can help protect your DC power ports by clamping excess voltages and smoothing inductive voltage surges. The PolyZen device's unique polymer-protected precision Zener design can help cure these all-too-common power problems. To learn more, visit www.circuitprotection.com/polyzen.
