Minimal footprint, maximum protection: how HUBER+SUHNER leads protection solutions with patented surge discharge technology

As the Cold War continued and as the pace of these nuclear arsenals and electronically-controlled weapon systems increased, it also triggered huge demand for protective devices against NEMPS (Electromagnetic Pulses). Cooperating closely with academic research institutions, HUBER+SUHNER established a novel and deep expertise in the development and production of effective NEMP protectors. Indeed, Switzerland was one of the first countries to make its civil protection and military installations impervious to electromagnetic interference. The experience gained during this period has proven invaluable in later years.

As technologies evolved and the integration and miniaturization of electronic circuitry increased, the sensitivity of these circuits to overvoltage grew. Smaller energy quantities were more sufficient to cause irreversible damage. HUBER+SUHNER responded to this trend by continuously investing in pushing the limits of our understanding of EMP technology.

Today, we supply a wide range of EMP protection devices, also known as SPDs (Surge Protective Devices), designed to ensure maximum reliability of the protected circuit. With nearly half a century of expertise behind us, we design, manufacture, and deliver harsh environment coaxial and data line surge protection devices, across air, land, and sea applications. HUBER+SUHNER is currently one of the most recognized global subject matter experts in protecting mission-critical connectivity from adverse electromagnetic effects.

Our patented surge discharge technology packaged into the industry's smallest form factors enable system engineers to pack maximum protection within a minimal footprint.

We are leading consultants in surge protection strategies and offer a broad library of MIL-standard design support materials for system engineers, accessible directly from our website. We deliver sophisticated and niche products as part of our in-house designed and manufactured SPD portfolio, with a wide variety of application-tailored platings, interfaces, and packaging. We design solutions to meet the most demanding operating requirements for critical system protection.
