Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap Pluggable STP Series Surge Protective Device (SPD), SKU STP240HN05M, delivers reliable 24V DC surge protection for industrial control panels. Engineered with Mersen’s proprietary TPMOV® technology, this no-fuse, fail-safe SPD eliminates the need for additional overcurrent protection, simplifying installation and reducing system complexity. Its self-protected design ensures continuous operation even under transient voltage conditions, safeguarding sensitive automation, motor control, and process industry equipment. Designed for 35mm DIN-rail mounting, the STP240HN05M features a compact footprint ideal for space-constrained control cabinets. The device supports wire ranges from 4-14AWG (2.5mm²–25mm²) for solid or stranded copper conductors, with a torque rating of 35.4 lbs-in (4.0 Nm). Its IP20 finger-safe construction meets UL94 V0 flammability standards, operating reliably across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). A high short circuit current rating of 200kA and surge current capacity up to 50kA (Imax) provide robust protection against transient events. The SPD responds in less than 1 nanosecond per phase, ensuring near-instantaneous suppression of voltage spikes. A clear visual indicator (green = functional, red = replace) enables at-a-glance status monitoring, while an optional remote indicator with Form C dry contacts allows centralized oversight of critical control circuitry. Mechanically coded replaceable modules prevent installation errors, and the reversible chassis supports cable entry from top or bottom for flexible wiring configurations. Compatible with ANSI/UL 1449 5th Edition (Open Type 1 SPD) and IEEE C62.41.1/2 standards, the STP240HN05M is suitable for industrial control panels, water treatment systems, smart grid metering, and traffic/ITS applications. Its pluggable design facilitates quick replacement, minimizing downtime in demanding environments.
