RBO40

Hello,

I am trying to build a power supply to power a vehicle tracker.  Can I use two RBO40 in series, so the output of first RBO40 connected to input of second RBO40?  Reason, when a thief steals a vehicle they want to stop the tracker working and sending out GPS coordinates, and quickly.  If they find the tracker's power cable but cannot find tracker because they are quickly working in a public area like a car park they might consider using high voltage like connecting up to 230volts to kill the tracker.  While we can never be sure what actions the attacker will do my thinking is the first RBO40 will be toast and assuming it has created an open circuit, the second RBO40 will continue to ensure nothing bad happens to the battery backed tracker.

Putting the above scenario aside, and it isn't my question because there are too many ifs and buts, my question to ST Community is can I safely use two RBO40 in series for about $2-4 to protect $200-400 of components?

Thanks.
