Description
These SURGECTOR devices are designed to protect telecom-
munication equipment, data links, alarm systems, power sup-
plies and other sensitive electrical circuits from damage by
switching transients, lightning strikes, load changes, commuta-
tion spikes and line crosses.
Bidirectional SURGECTOR devices are constructed using two
monolithic compound chips each consisting of a thyristor whose
gate region contains a special diffused section which acts as a
zener diode. This chips are connected in anti parallel, providing
bidirectional protection. This zener diode section permits anode
voltage turn on of the structure.
Initial clamping by the zener diode section, and fast turn on
by the thyristor, provide excellent voltage limiting even on
very fast rise time transients. The thyristor also features very
high holding current, which allows the SURGECTOR to
recover to its high impedance off state after a transient.
All these devices are supplied in a 2 lead, modified TO-202
VERSATAB package.
